✍🏽 Phrases of guidance:
Coaches, never give up on an athlete. We have no idea what we can do or how we as coaches are making a positive impact on them.
Athletes, if you want something, a goal or a skill, find the support you need and just go for it. You never know and there are no limits.
Part 2 of “The Coaching Life: Surviving or Thriving?” with Heather Cribbin delved deep into the WHY behind well-being.
✏️ Setting Boundaries: Explore the power of personal boundaries—saying No, seeking help, and fostering connections across physical, social, and emotional realms. Prioritize yourself to better serve others.
✏️ Values & Well-being: Uncover the significance of knowing your values—the principles impacting your behaviour and guiding how you live and work.
✏️ What Fuels You?: Insights from December’s questionnaire reveal the passion coaches and athletes share for the sport, personal connections, and daily wins.
✏️ The Wheel of Life: Navigating the Human Function Curve and breaking free from the Cycle of Burnout. Rediscover balance and purpose in your coaching journey.
✏️ Time Management: Understand that energy is renewable, but time is not. Explore how effective energy management acts as a crucial boundary.
The key takeaway? Well-being for coaches and athletes revolves around successfully implementing boundaries. Let’s prioritize ourselves, foster connections, and thrive together!
