Podcasts about great coaches

This episode is something a little different. I am joined by Dr David Turner, who is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge in the United Kingdom and some of his students and a fellow teacher. David takes the lead in this episode and we share learning we have all taken from Great Coaches as well as how some the students intend to apply what they have learned in the world. The tables were turned at times as the students and David asked me questions as well; something which I found enjoyable but also quite challenging!A special thanks to Wleed Mazhar, Kye Buckle, Becky Marshall, Beth Parsons and Eloise Pemberton for taking part.If you would like to send us any feedback or if you know a great coach, who has a unique story to share, then we would love to hear from you, please contact us at thegreatcoachespodcast@gmail.com or contact us through our website thegreatcoachespodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

Summary   In this episode of the Conquer Athlete Podcast, hosts Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the nuances of coaching, particularly focusing on the elusive 'final 10%' that separates good coaches from great ones. They explore the importance of building habits, fostering belief, and developing resilience in athletes. The conversation delves into the mindset required to overcome limitations and the significance of competing as a skill. The hosts emphasize the need for scenario-based training to prepare athletes for real competition environments, ultimately highlighting the intricate relationship between coaching strategies and athlete performance.   Takeaways The final 10% is what separates good coaches from great coaches. Great coaching involves understanding the unique needs of each athlete. Building belief and resilience is crucial for athlete development. Competing is a skill that can be developed over time. Mindset coaching is essential for overcoming performance anxiety. Creating controlled chaos in training helps athletes adapt to competition pressure. Effective communication fosters trust and belief in athletes. Athletes often underestimate their potential due to self-doubt. Scenario-based training prepares athletes for real competition environments. The relationship between coach and athlete is pivotal for success.

In episode #299, we welcome upcoming presenter at this June's TCS Live, Grizzlys Wolfsburg Head Coach Mike Stewart. At the time of this recording, he is currently preparing for his fifth season leading the Grizzlys. He has a unique origin story as a player that includes his mother discovering a loophole that would enable him to enroll at Michigan State University, without a high school diploma, and leading to being drafted in the first round by the New York Rangers. Following his retirement due to injury, he would immediately jump behind the bench as an Assistant Coach with Villacher SV of the Austrian ICE Hockey League. Now 15 seasons later, Mike has spent the bulk of his coaching career in the DEL. He remains a student of the game, and is engaged with the challenge of leading the Grizzlys, a smaller market club in a league with no salary cap, to DEL title. Listen he shares why the best coaches are the best thieves, why passing is a lost art, and why North America should adopt Olympic-sized rinks

In today's episode, I reflect on recent experiences with clients who have faced toxic coaching situations in the past, emphasizing that coaching should not simply provide answers or only focus on the client's goals, instead can they help clients uncover the underlying barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. I share my belief that strategy constitutes only 5% of the equation, while subconscious work—addressing limiting beliefs and emotional blocks—makes up the remaining 95%. Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of getting to the root of why individuals feel stuck or engage in self-sabotage. So many clients are unaware of the deeper reasons behind their behaviors, which are often buried in their subconscious. By employing techniques such as FLIP The Script Techniques and asking subconscious questions, we can uncover these hidden beliefs and reframe them to create lasting change.

Today's episode focuses on the topic of Legendary Coaches and I am joined for the discussion by Dr David Turner at Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at ARU in Cambridge in the UK, and Valorie Kondos Field, universally known as Ms Val. Both have been on the podcast before Dr David in his role as a leading academic on coaching and Ms Val as a Great Coach. Ms Val led the t UCLA gymnastics team from 1991 to 2019, collecting the seven national Championships along the way and she now leads the course “Transformative Coaching. Introduction to Philosophies of Coaching and Leadership” at UCLA. I have been looking forward to getting Dr David and Ms Val together for a long time now to talk about the Great Coaches they lecture on in their programs and today is a master class in what they have learnt on their teaching journeys.

In what is the 35th episode of David´s CALM leadership series he talks about the benefits of having a coaching culture and relationships in your organisation. He shares the 11 principles you need to follow if you are going to tap into this style of leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS Using coaching principles to lead is incredibly effective, but it needs to be done right. Respect for others and the fact that they have a different worldview is core to this approach. Help people to understand what is behind their behaviour and to see the behaviour of others in context. Believe in your team.  There are no unresourceful people. Only people who find themselves in an unresourceful state. With your help, they can learn how to change that state. Fear is important it keeps us alive, but you need to help people not to be overcome by fear. Take ownership and lead by example. People don´t have to like what you say. You will be asking probing questions. Set goals that stretch people but are also achievable. Have standards and boundaries, but be flexible too. BEST MOMENTS ‘You´ve got to respect the person you are coaching.' ‘The person you´re coaching is not the behaviour.' ‘You need to take ownership of the communication, the conversation.' ‘There is no failure, there is only feedback.'   ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life. ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors. As an intrapreneur and entrepreneur, David has bought, grown, started and sold several businesses, working with values-driven start-ups, award-winning SMEs, and multinational corporations on strategies for service excellence, leadership, and profitable growth. David's passion is for purpose and creating an environment where everyone can succeed, through building teams that get things done, execute on their mission with passion, deliver exceptional service and really make a difference.

BONUS: Answer Bryan Mann’s “call to arms!” Get involved locally and give back to your strength and conditioning community at NSCA.com/VolunteerShow Notes“Maybe a strength and conditioning coach is part of a recruiting visit for an athlete, and having to connect with a high school athlete, or their parents coming through the weight room. You're essentially having to sell that program in a different way than you would to your athletes on the day-to-day.” 9:35 “If people are going to see my body language and hear my voice in the way I'm delivering this information, that's going to impact how they perceive that information. Because if they perceive me as being grounded and competent and confident in what I'm saying, they're more likely to buy into the information I'm sharing.” 24:20 “Whenever I talk about nervousness or anxiety, I love this quote by Mark Twain. He said, "There are two types of speakers in this world, the ones that are nervous and the ones that are liars."” 28:15 “I think it can be really empowering to know – what's the most effective way to organize information so that it can be easily understood or acted on as an example. There is an acronym that they use in the military called BLUF, B-L-U-F. They follow it mostly in writing, but it applies to speaking as well. It stands for Bottom Line Up Front. Some of you might be familiar with it. Essentially, what it means is the very beginning of what you're writing or saying should be the bottom line. It should be, what is my main takeaway? What is the most important thing I need to say?” 31:45

“Do what you love in service to people who love what you do. - Steve Farber” “When our communities change, the world will change.” Ever wondered why some nonprofits struggle to invest in coaching for their leaders? Nonprofit leaders are often unsung heroes, driven by a deep passion to make a difference in their communities. However, despite their vital roles, many of these leaders face significant barriers when it comes to accessing coaching and professional development opportunities. One of the underlying reasons for this struggle is financial constraints—nonprofit organizations operate on limited budgets and often prioritize direct services over investing in leadership development. Additionally, the misconception that coaching is a luxury reserved for corporate executives can further deter nonprofits from seeking out these valuable resources. Ready to make a difference? Whether you're a coach looking to give back, a nonprofit seeking support, or simply someone who wants to contribute, head over to thecoachinitiative.org to learn more and get involved.

In 2022 we were talking with 2 of the great coaches we have interviewed over a coffee, Eddie Jones and Neil Craig, as we got up to leave they challenged with an idea; so many sports coaches have models to illustrate what they think high performing teams do, why not compare them against what the coaches you are interviewing are saying? It was an interesting idea that stayed with me afterwards and in early 2023 I found some time to do this. I looked at models from Coaches, Academics and Consultants. I printed them off and laid them out on a table and started to compare them against the insight database that we have built up. That database has 1500 one to two minute videos from the coaches and is coded into buckets like culture, communication and mental skills. You can find it here: https://thegreatcoachespodcast.com/individual-insights/ The model that I thought best reflected the messages I was hearing from the Great Coaches , was the Thriving Teams model developed by the consultancy Thompson Harrison in conjunction with Oxford professor Robin Dunbar. Their model builds from the idea that organisation only thrive when people do. And they identify six dimensions that enable this; Belonging, Purpose, Connection, Culture, Values and Learning. In this podcast I will talk about their model and use audio from the Great Coaches to bring it to life.If you would like to know more about Thriving Teams you can find the information here: https://thegreatcoachespodcast.com/thriving-teams/ Hosted on Acast.

Becky is an American soccer coach who has just retired after leading the University of Florida Gators for 26 years.She was the inaugural coach in 1994, and went on to win the NCAA title in 1998.

In her time at Florida she also led the team to 14 SEC championships.With her colleague Brett Ledbetter she also runs the very successful What Drives Winning conferences that bring together Great Coaches from all over the world.In this interview some of the key highlights for me were:· Her belief that there is no task that is so important or critical that it should stop you from her bringing your best energy to the team.· Her view on the importance of courage as a coach.· That the way you treat people is more important that the tactics you deploy.· And the story she shares about how she controls her emotions during a game.
