This post is a preview of the third lesson from the new online course: The Relationship Coach. The course is based on the 1st principle of sports psychology from The Future Coach by Tom Bates.

The Future Coach courses are for coaches wanting to transform their coaching practice by giving them an understanding of sports psychology and how this can benefit their team, players and results.

In Lesson 3: The Human Being you will learn about how the different teaching styles bring about different results.

Tom says: “The future coach is a coach who recognises the importance of building psychological confidence through task clarity and emotional connection. Creating effective winning relationships with players is, as research teaches us, a unique blend of affection and authority.” 

The lesson looks at four teaching styles and considers that “great coaches are great teachers.”

At the end of the lesson there is a quiz to cement your learning.

Note: If you haven’t taken it already, Tom’s first Future Coach course will give you a great overview of how you can further your coaching journey.
