Huzzah! We are at the end of season 1 of the Coaches Diary Podcast!

As with any end of season finale, or even at the end of training - I get my athletes to self reflect on three key questions to help propel them forward and keep on developing their elite mindset.

Now we are at the end of the Coaches Diary Podcast, I invite you to do the same.

BIG QUESTION here for you!

Are you running on autopilot? Would you believe me if I said there was nothing wrong with it?

This episode is for you to sit back, listen and reflect on where you are in your coaching journey. I detail the 4 stages of learning and explain why you are always going to be in a continuous learning loop as a coach.

Your call to action is to let me know what stagey are at! #TheCoachesDiary will be coming to an end soon, with only a few episodes left so NOW is your chance to connect and ask about ANYTHING coaching related for it to feature on the next few episodes.

Keep in touch.

The Coaches Diary was formed at the start of a 2.5 month program with a semi-elite U16 Boys talent squad.

Episodes were released as new experiences were felt.

Now the program has finished (and soon too will be #TheCoachesDiary), this episode is a summary of 5 key things I learnt while coaching U16 boys in the talent space.

I stuffed up. I became a close contact of someone who had covid, which meant that I missed out on coaching on one of my U16 NAB league carnival games.

Tune in to hear how I responded to hearing the news that I needed to go into isolation, how I COULD have responded to hearing the news that I needed to go into isolation, and how our responses + behaviours to challenges, set backs and stuff ups affects our athletes on match day.

Have you ever been caught out trying to help your athletes out, but they just don't seem to... "get it"?

This can be one hard pill to swallow. One of the biggest traps in coaching is the identity that you form around being the coach. Coaching athletes can make you feel on top of the world, but here's a quick reminder that there's more to life than the game, and to try not let it consume you
