Would I say “Pressure is a Privilege” to an athlete right before a match, that I didn’t know, who was freaking out?

NO

This quote is 🔥 (Billie Jean King) but is not a one time fix in the heat of the moment. This quote belongs in your everyday routine from a GRATITUDE perspective. Being grateful for your ability and opportunity to train and compete is 🔑.

The biggest performance tool your athletes have might not be their training plan.

It’s the relationship.

For my master’s capstone (2023) I dove into the research on the coach-athlete relationship. 2 highlights:

Self-Belief is one of the strongest predictors of performance we have. Research even shows it outperforms perfectionism.

Swipe through for the breakdown.

Coaches: how intentional are you about the relational side of your coaching?
Athletes: has a coach’s belief in you ever changed how you performed?
