Sign up to my FREE motivational psychology newsletter: Subscribe | Labours of Sport Coaching - The Self-Determined Coach In this episode I'm joined by long time coach and coach developer Ray Power, who is Technical Academy Director at Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan, the biggest academy in South Asia. We talk about practical coaching habits in preparation, delivery, and reflection that can improve coaching practice while importantly making life a little easier for coaches. Takeaways Planning helps in aligning goals with daily actions. Without reflection, one may feel lost in their pursuits. It's important to stack new habits with existing ones, to manage bandwidth and your own personality. Life and performance management is a continuous process of adjustment. Setting aside time for reflection can enhance decision-making.
