Are you trying to help your athletes by telling them what to do, and you're met with nothing but attitude? Maybe it's because they view you as overbearing. Coaches and parents can often act in an overbearing manner without even realizing or intending too. When you overpower someone you inadvertently take away their voice and decision making abilities. 

This episode will explore the idea of being an overbearing person, and how you can avoid this behavior when working with your athletes. I'll talk about how a little explanation can go a long way, and how helping your athlete become an action taker is providing them with all the self support they need. I also provide some great conversation starters for you to use with your athlete's, to get that ball rolling and make confidence easier to talk about. I've listed these conversation starters below! 

This is the last episode for my 3 part series aimed at helping parents and coaches. If you've enjoyed what you've learned I encourage you to tag along for the remainder of season one!
