In this episode I'm joined by Professor of Sport Psychology Adam Nicholls from University of Hull to consider the complimentary role sport psychologists can play in coach-led processes, shining a light on where the blame lies in cases of disagreement from both sides of the fence. We also chat about how coaches can utilise mental skills with not just athletes, but also themselves, while at the same time problematising coping strategies in dysfunctional sporting environments. The conversations leads to discussing career planning within coaching, and why coaches are willing to forgo stable working conditions and mental wellbeing in search of positions of high status and the chance for glory.
