Michaelangelo
approached the craft of sculpting with the sincere conviction that a
unique and wonderful piece of art already existed within the stone,
and his job was only to release it.
We think a sport
coach, at any level, must approach his work in the same way.
There are many
reasons to practice sport ….. But at pro level, It s clearly a
social, physical and competitive need to help athletes to be the best
version of themselves.
Don t coach the guy,
Coach the version of the guy you want he becomes …. ! Trust in
your athletes !! You must create the ideal self your athlete
want to become, and show him the way.
But Be careful !!
avoid to clone yourself in your mentee. You should share your
experiences, give patterns but let your athlete discovers himself
many things. If women are often more « relationship
oriented », men are often « task oriented ».
So, To avoid this instinctual cloning tendency, men have to work hard
at really listening to the women they mentor,
focusing on the relationship more than the specific task being
discussed
Remember the Latin
Quote : USUS MAGISTER EST OPTIMUS which means « the
experience is the best master".
To be successful, an
athlete must work but also fail … Don t be afraid to let him fail,
and help him to get the lesson after each failure. Failures create
toughness and character.
