Want to Know the Biggest Mistake in Modern Day Coaching?

The post by Allistair McCaw

Want to know the biggest mistake in modern day coaching? – It’s ‘Over coaching’.

Allistair McCaw

Here’s 5 things that lead to over coaching:

  1. Over explaining something that is actually simple to understand.
  2. Trying to add on another thing and then another and another.
  3. Teaching concepts that are too advanced for the age group you are working with (example: Giving a drill Roger Federer or Cristiano Ronaldo does to a 10-year-old ).
  4. Their choice of words used are even difficult for a NASA scientist to understand.
  5. Bombarding the athlete with constant instructions and cues – in other words: “Paralysis by analysis”.
