This post is a preview of the second 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 2: Inside Out Coaching you will learn about gaining a capacity to enrich the hearts and minds of your players, assisting them in transforming previous levels of performance.

Tom says: “In recognising the importance of building healthy positive relationships to create winning attitudes, coaches gain the opportunity to become much more than an expert in strategy“.

The lesson looks at the two kinds of coaches: transactional and transformational.

You will learn the differences between the two and how knowing this will enable you to impact the lives of the players around you positively.

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.
