By Joel Dearing, Retired Head Coach, Springfield College
With a thirty-year coaching career in the rear view mirror, Joel Dearing will share ten categories of potential "blind spots" that could be lessening your impact as an effective coach. Often, we think of confrontation in terms of a difficult and/or uncomfortable situation that needs our attention. In this webinar, you will be challenged in your own thinking to confront even your deepest philosophical anchors. Coaches make dozens of decisions daily, and are constantly initiating and developing new relationships with recruits, assistant coaches, and colleagues. The demands at all levels of coaching are increasing, the work-life balance continues to be a struggle for many, and every few years we get a new description of the next generation in our culture. The primary purpose of this webinar is to help you take a "time-out" and reflect on some topics you may not have had time to consider recently. Topics include: communication - any questions?, impact of your coaching style, professional development, outside the box tactical thinking, developing teaching skills, and more.
