The Art Of Coaching

"Please God don't let me be pigeon hold in a normal job." This was a prayer of mine immediately after graduating under grad and being denied a internship by the United States Olympic Committee. I am fairly certain that many of you out there pray the same thing in regards to looking for your first break in the coaching field out of school, or maybe even looking for a promotion. On this episode of the podcast I share a bit of my personal background story in an effort to answer the question "how can I get a break into the strength and conditioning career field." I also share some tips on how to separate yourself from the pack of other coaches looking for a job. If you are a coach looking for help in managing your career make sure to check out my upcoming Careers In Coaching seminar in Atlanta that is happening January 19-20, 2019.    

On Episode 4 of the Art of Coaching podcast I am joined by Coach Davis Conley from Northern State University to talk about what it's like to be a young coach coming up in the profession as the climate in the coaching profession is constantly changing around us. Specific Topics We Get Into Are Development of interns What are the important things to learn Taking risks and the value of that in improving your network Why age doesn't matter in coaching You can contact Davis via the info below davs.conley@wolves.nothern.edu @coachdconley on Instagram

On this episode of the podcast I am joined by Brock Bittle, who is a former student athlete of mine to about one of the tough parts of our profession: what happens when you can get a job.

After a few years of interning and grad assisting he found himself burnt out and asking questions about his future in the coaching profession.

Today I am talking about one of the most bastardized terms in the human lexicon: culture. It's often used to describe what's going right or wrong with teams or organizations, but we really don't have a good working definition of what culture is, which means it's pretty hard to make changes to it if we don't know what it is. So on this episode I will share a definition I really like and then explain how culture can become stagnant and corrosive and how we can prevent that or fix it if it is happening. Here is a link to the article I reference in the show: Culture Change By Elite Performance Teams If you are interested in checking out my course Bought In head over to ArtOfCoaching.com to do so.

Over the years I have been vehemently against doing a podcast, but after talking to many of you about leadership, coaching, management..etc my passion for educating on the little things that go unnoticed was reinvigorated and I decided that It was really important to make what I know available in every medium possible. So I'm doing a podcast. On this first episode I sit down to talk about what you can expect from me on here and what I aim to accomplish and what is going to make this podcast different. Please feel free to share your thoughts or questions. I am reachable via email at info@artofcoaching.com on Instagram and I would love to hear from you.
