Podcast #5: Bobby Sepesy on Coaching – Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

By /

Quotes:

“In order for you to be taught or to teach, the relationship is going to come first.”

“As opposed to you having all the answers and you having all the tools… its become more about what our athletes know, more than what we know.”

Guiding athletes in terms of: “Mindset, behavior, movement, spiritual growth… I think we as strength coaches have to embody that.”

“We want to give our coaches a stronger organism.”

“Many times when we want to get better, we need to strip away and take things more simply, than make them more complex.”

To change a movement pattern, “psychologically creates a judgment mindset… Let’s just create something newer. So now all of a sudden, the judgement is gone… it’s like ‘Oh, this is a whole new better way.'”

On using Minimum Effective Dose: “We’re one hour a day.” With the other lifestyle factors: “Who knows what kind of stress, and probably not eustress.”

Embodying what you talk about: “If I can’t stand for that myself, then how in the world could I genuinely expect them to give me that kind of quality of work?”

    mầm non chú kiến nhỏ gò vấp Mình nghe danh trường này đã lâu vì thấy các bé ở đây lúc nào cũng vui vẻ, hoạt bát và được thầy cô chăm chút rất kỹ lưỡng. Môi trường giáo dục ở đây thực sự mang lại cảm giác ấm áp và an tâm cho các bậc phụ huynh, nhất là với những ai đang tìm kiếm một nơi vừa học vừa chơi đúng nghĩa cho con trẻ. Nếu có cơ hội, mình nhất định sẽ ghé qua tham quan trực tiếp để tìm hiểu kỹ hơn về chương trình học và cơ sở vật chất, vì thấy nhiều mẹ khen không gian ở đây rộng rãi và thoáng mát lắm. asp Monte

    It’s a reminder that as strength coaches, our role goes beyond just providing tools; it involves creating an environment where athletes feel understood and supported.
