Why the Best Coaches Have Coaches?
At Values Driven, we believe in the continuous pursuit of excellence and growth. Our community thrives on the values of resilience, discipline, and commitment, which are not only essential for athletes but for anyone striving to reach their full potential.
In a compelling piece written by Jayson Wells, Founder & CEO of Jayson’s Playground, he explores why even the best coaches have their own coaches. Here are the key takeaways:
Continuous Learning and Growth
The best coaches understand that learning never stops. They seek mentors who challenge their assumptions, provide fresh perspectives, and help them refine their techniques. This commitment to lifelong learning is a cornerstone of personal and professional development.
Accountability and Feedback
Coaches hold their clients accountable, but they also need someone to hold them accountable. Having a coach provides an external source of accountability, ensuring they stay on track with their own goals. Constructive feedback from their mentors helps them identify areas for improvement and enhance their coaching style.
Unbiased Support and Perspective
Coaches dedicate themselves to supporting others, but they also need support. Their mentors offer a safe space to express fears and concerns, providing emotional support and an unbiased perspective. This helps coaches navigate high expectations and pressures more effectively.
Modeling the Coaching Process
By experiencing coaching firsthand, coaches gain a deeper understanding of its impact. This personal experience enhances their empathy and ability to adapt their coaching approach to better meet the needs of their clients.
Pushing Personal Boundaries
Coaches who seek out their own mentors demonstrate their commitment to personal growth. They embrace challenges and push their limits, setting an inspiring example for their clients.
Honoring Coaches During the Olympics
We love this piece because we know that one of the foundations of a great athlete is a dedicated coach. With the Olympics in full swing, it's the perfect time to honor the coaches who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their guidance and support are crucial for athletes striving to achieve their best.
At Values Driven, we resonate deeply with these principles. Our brand and community are built on the belief that continuous growth and support are essential for achieving greatness. Just as the best coaches seek guidance, we encourage our community to embrace their values, seek mentorship, and strive for excellence in all aspects of life.
