🤬 When Leo lost it: A coaching crisis on the rugby field
|
Hi Coach :) This Sunday, I witnessed an incident at a rugby match that provided profound insight into our roles as coaches. A young player named Leo was overwhelmed by frustration due to his team’s performance, nearly escalating into a physical confrontation. Watching his father intervene, I reflected on the type of energy we bring into our coaching sessions and its impact. Leo’s emotional turmoil is a stark reminder of the fine line between negative and positive energy. As coaches, our challenge is not just to manage our emotions but to consciously direct our energy in ways that foster progress and positive outcomes. Here’s how we can apply this in our coaching:
Leo, at 8 years old, naturally lets emotions steer his actions. However, allowing negative emotions to dominate our sessions diminishes our authority and credibility as coaches. It’s not about us; it’s about effectively guiding our clients. Reflect on this:
It’s our job to master our emotions and create a productive atmosphere for our clients. As you prepare for your next session, consider the energy you want to bring into the space and how it can best serve the purpose of the session. 🗣️ 👀 Chris PS.

We don’t want to be doing tasks that diminish our authority. Administrative tasks do precisely that. So, what can you delegate to your...
Hi Coach, One of my clients was venting about a particularly frustrating situation with one of their clients. You know the kind of venting I’m talking about—usually happens at home, unloading all the day’s frustrations to a patient partner. Now, here’s the thing: when we find ourselves complaining about our clients, it’s a clear signal. It means there’s a conversation we need to have with our client that we’re avoiding. Complaints are like the practice rounds for the actual conversation that...
