Have you made the same mistakes as me?
Here are 5 that have caused me a problem
Which ones do you recognise?
I wasn’t aware of the effect until I was told several years later
Maybe they could have been avoided if I’d met that person earlier
I wish they had been part of my Coach Education
– they weren’t!
This page that you are reading now is a summary of a longer one.
If you want to read that, click on this image, and you will be taken straight there.
In it, I describe each coaching mistake in much more detail.
I describe what I was doing, how I recognised it was a problem, and what I try to do now
Ask your coaching friends if they see you doing these....
- Talking to players in the same way we talk with other coaches : uisng coaching language, terms and phrases.
- Not watching the players we coach in competition, only in practice: believing that we will see the same information..
- Thinking that technical practice translates into tactical play : more techique will equal better tactics
- Viewing practices from your own perspective (from when you were a player) : if it worked for me, it will work for them.
- Believing that 'Practice Performance' translates into Competition Performance: they play so well in practice, therefore they must play well in competition.
Do you recognise any of these?
Do you want a conversation?
I’d like to hear from you if you have a viewpoint on anything that you’ve read
We don’t need to agree, but explore viewpoints.
It would be great to hear from you, send me an email : contact@badmintonandy.com
This is part of a series of conversation starters.
Although not in detail, the posts are written to get you thinking and talking with others.
