Mark Bennett from 'Performance Development Systems' and Alan Keane, Head Coach of Reading Rockets Basketball Club make a welcome return to the show to share some of their latest thinking around coaching and coach development.
The conversation centres around why they have moved away from the term 'athlete centred' or 'player centred' coaching towards 'need centred or needs led' coaching. We explore what this means, why it is important and how it is applied.
In this discussion we cover the following:
-
-
- Why asking questions doesn't make you an athlete centred coach
- How to help athletes define what the WANT is compatible with what they NEED
- The 3 'A's' of 'The rule of 3'
- Why 'selling the why' is so important
Mark and Alan are embarking on an extensive engagement programme to support coach learning while everyone is in lock down. Head to www.pdscoaching.com to find out more.
