The Details
Our theory is that any endeavor in life can be played as a winnable game worth playing. In this program you will learn how to create a winnable game and use it as the foundation of every coaching relationship - with every player you coach.
This is a method-based course. You will learn how to do each part of the method step-by-step, then add your wisdom and expertise to make it your own. While you are at it, you will also learn how to be a player and experience coming alive in a winnable game.
1) Coach The Game
The program gets to the heart of what most people expect from a coach:
1) The ability to teach them how to play the game better by helping them learn, practice and refine the skills of the game AND
2) The ability to guide them with an effective personalized game plan.
3) The ability to debrief the game to facilitate development and learning. You must be able to celebrate successes in a way that expands awareness and to debrief losses in a way that promotes growth and restores their desire to get back into the game.
To do these things you must have a solid knowledge of the game and a clear method for guiding them to the results they desire. Your players trust you to have a way of doing things that is reliable, consistent and grounded in experience. We will help you put this together in this program
2) The value of a method
