Happy FriYAY Team!
A key aspect of my coaching philosophy is empowering athletes with the responsibility for their own journey. While I, as a coach, can guide and point in certain directions, the actual journey is deeply personal and unique to each athlete. It's about you all as individuals, your discoveries, your challenges, and your triumphs.
Coaching, as I perceive and do my best to practice it, is an art form that goes beyond physical training and data analysis. It's about guiding athletes on a journey of self-discovery, where you discover hidden strengths and learn to trust internal guidance. This approach not only enhances performance but also enriches lives beyond the realm of sports.
Coaching is about educating, supporting, allowing athletes to stand on their feet and make choices in the how, what & why. I do my best not to hold hands, but to offer independence, self belief, trust and being innovative. This allows athletes to know they have a safe haven in MSGold, they can go exploring and never be alone.
Self-awareness is a critical component of my coaching strategy. It's about helping athletes to not just study their performance but to understand their reactions, feelings, and discoveries during training and competition.
With some key races approaching very quickly on the race calendar for a number of our athletes, as well as others starting to book in races for the end of the year. The process to get to their destinations is really an exploration of themselves which reveals their hidden strengths and unleashes untapped potentials. So yes, its time to set the stage for self discovery!
