Developing as a Coach

I had a fairly inspired summer. I was forced to take a look at myself as a coach and see where I really needed to improve next, and what I came up with was a lot in the way of processes. When you step into someone else’s business a lot of the processes are likely set up already, but what I needed to do was start setting up some processes. When I work with a player there are usually a number of days, and sometimes weeks between workout. Where I figured I needed to improve the most was in helping players during those times when I can’t be in the gym with them.
The first thing I did was build a form of 12 short workouts, each with their own focus. This way when I leave a player for a few days I can now leave them with better direction on what they should be doing. I also built a form whereby I can take better and quicker notes on new players that I may be observing in a tryout situation.
Just these two little things, though they took a long time to build and remain works in progress, have helped my organization as a coach immeasurably.
