Maintaining the Coach-Athlete Relationship
Feb 5th, 2010
Positive relationships between coaches and athletes are necessary for effective training, mentoring, and maximizing competitive potential. Psychologists Rhind and Jowett have identified seven main factors for a healthy coach-athlete relationship: 1) conflict management, 2) openness, 3) motivation, 4) positivity, 5) advice, 6) support, and 7) common social networks (COMPASS). Coaches should remember the COMPASS method when cultivating or improving coach-athlete relationships.
