Athlete Leadership Maturity and Wellness

The coach and player relationship can (should) be very powerful, but it is something the coach needs to develop and invest time to continue to grow and evolve for positive player outcomes. 

‘The relationship interactions also have a positive effect on the coaches satisfaction and their enjoyment in the sport’.

Authentic leaders build trust with their players and the players view of the coach is of someone there to support and grow them.  Players who perceived their coach to possess player centric leadership qualities display higher intrinsic motivation, are more task oriented, more satisfied, mentally tougher, and performed better than players coached by authoritarian leaders.

The CALM Leadership – Player Leadership Maturity and Wellness Program will help you explore how to build this trust and get the very best out of your players, while also progressing your knowledge of holistic wellness models and their application in your sporting environment.

‘The leadership role of a coach is multi layered, but under pinning all else is the responsibility to coach the player to be a good person with good character, good values and to be well within themselves’
