Constructing something always requires an understanding of what one is doing, yet until someone starts, that understanding can not be acquired. Hence what everyone needs to know is that all coaching is trial and error, and it doesn’t matter how scientific one becomes, at it’s heart is all trial and error, for some of the…
Trial and error, we all hate making mistakes and not getting things right, though when one really begins looking at it, all sports coaching really is, is a process of trial and error. And this is why having an overall picture in one’s mind become essential, for the point the one is aiming for, over…
Building things always begins with the first thing that you do. That may sound really obvious, though until one starts, nothing gets done. And the real question is, where does one start? And the simple answer is, right where you are. And when it comes to sport, building a team fundamentally revolves around three things:…
Rectifying any issue or problems is fraught with many sticking points, for the same issue can normally be rectified many different ways. One only has to look at something like Plantar Fasciitis, which for those unaware is a pain issue with the sole of the foot. http://beawinningcoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Problem-solving-Poster.pdf Most in rectifying this issue, would look to…
Sandbars always cause problems for people navigating certain water ways, for they constantly shift, and unless one can read the ripples on the water, one will beach themselves upon the sandbars hidden underneath. And in a way, that’s a bit like coaching, or working with any group of people, for as people come and go,…
Longitude was always a problem in the past for the navigators of this world, for without it in companionship with lattitude, they could end up anywhere in this world, and generally it was on the rocks. And an interesting book I read many years ago was Longitude by Dava Sobel, which was about John Harrison…
Joys come in many different ways, and one of the joys of writing these blogs and doing what one does, is that it takes me into areas and information that one wouldn’t normally go to, and one ends up listening to people one wouldn’t normally come across. The whole process is fascinating, especially the information that…
Deprogramming or waking up to the reality that surrounds us is one of the hardest things we can initially do. For the world that is presented to us can seem to be a comfortable place, but the system we’re in, being a zero sum game, eventually like Monopoly, everyone loses to the bankers. Our Monetary…
Juggling is something we do in our lives naturally, for we all have many things on the go, and if we didn’t know how to organise ourselves, all the balls that we have in the air, would fall to the ground. And it’s always interesting watching people juggling different objects and the timing that they…
Great things come in surprising packages, and none more in teaching skills. For realistically, every moment is a teaching opportunity and to use the skills that one has and has accumulated over the years and adapting them to the situation that one is in. For sometimes the solution is the never the most obvious, and the…
Teachers come in many shapes and forms and some of the most knowledgeable teachers are not within the official educational system. And when one starts delving into the world of Occulted Knowledge, there aren’t too many available teachers, though with the advent of the internet, the teachers of this knowledge have become much easier to find….
Challenges and goals are a main stay of life, living and truly being alive, for if one doesn’t have them, one will get bored, and the same would be true with A.I. For we know some of the challenges that the creators of A.I have shown it can do, mainly on an intellectual level, such as the…
Today, merely coaching the skills, techniques and tactics isn’t enough when one gets into sports coaching, yet it is the main focus of what we do, and those that do branch out into other areas become better sports coaches for doing so. Sports Coaching today has become about creating an environment where the players, athletes…
Essentially whenever anyone learns about coaching and what it is all about, essentially everyone is learning the same skills and techniques, where the real difference that sets people apart is in allowing their personality to come through. And as an example of same techniques different personalities, one only as to look at the art of…
If one talks a lot about working to a focus and an aim, and does what they do working from a few simple rules or principles, essential they are talking about the creating of a self-organising system. And as we know by now, the creating of something is only part of the equation, the maintaining…
Recently I’ve been looking at the world of quantum physics and the world of inventions and innovations, especially through the 17th to the 21st century, when a lot of innovation and major strides took place. Interestingly enough, 6 common themes shine through of the truly innovative thinkers with them being: An Open Mind A Curious…
The longer one coaches, the skills, techniques and tactics start to take on a less of a priority in what one does, as one begins spending more time building a platform from which the skills, techniques and tactics can be launched from. And the better a platform that one can make, the more that one…
The best thing about starting with an unknown is in solving problem, and so it is with coaching, for if one wants to solve Coachings engagement problem, one has to create a self-organising culture It appears that the way one goes about establishing a self-organising culture is to work to 2 simple steps, they being:…
As one coaches for longer and longer, what one begins to focus on more and more is the learning process and how people learn. And people can focus on the different genders as a difference in the learning process, which I’m sure there is a minor difference, though after 30 odd years of coaching both…
Coaching has got 2 parts to it, and we generally ignore the most important of the 2 parts to the detriment of the coaching process. Most will be well versed in one of the parts of the process, that of teaching the skills, techniques and tactics of one’s sport, though it is the other part,…
