Active listening is a great way to make coaching relationships stronger. Here’s how it helps:
Building trust: When athletes feel that their coach is really listening, they are more willing to share their problems and goals.
Enhancing understanding: It helps coaches understand how their athletes think and feel. This understanding allows coaches to create better plans that fit each athlete's needs.
Facilitating feedback: It encourages open conversations, making feedback more helpful and useful for everyone.
From my experience, the more I practiced active listening, the closer I became with my athletes. This stronger connection really helped us make progress together!
