2-Day Training

“The competitive edge between teams and coaches is increasingly the way they manage the human factor.”

Coach Training titled “The Art of Treating and Communicating with People in Sport”

The purpose of the 2-day training course is to learn about the DISC behavioural style model adopted to sports by Athlete Assessments, Australia and to deepen self-awareness as a coach in order to develop relationships and communication with athletes, staff members and managers (and also parents of juniors). The training is provided both as an open one for individual coaches of adult and junior athletes and with a special offer for their peers at sports organisations.

Why this topic?

Both in individual and team sports, in addition to physical, tactical and technical training, maximising mental and psychic strength is a prerequisite for lasting success, which is based on a high level of self-awareness, social awareness and functional social relationships. According to a 2008 survey after the Beijing Olympics, the two key factors for successful Olympic performance were the athlete-coach relationship and the athlete’s high level of self-awareness, as evidenced by research findings presented at the 2015 World Class Performance Conference in London. If a sports team invests in developing relationships and self-awareness, it will outperform its competitors.
Self-awareness, knowledge of strengths and weaknesses and the application of the best matching leadership and management techniques and styles are also crucial in successful leadership (coaching, managerial) activities.
