Our coaches have training that is not completed.

In my meetings with coaches what emerges clearly is their desire to acquire more psychological skills to relate to their athletes and at the same time the difficulty the knowledge they acquire in training courses. This is because they receive a lot of information, even of high quality, but the difficulty lies in not knowing how to put it into practice. It is a bit like knowing the grammar of a foreign language and then going to that country and starting to speak it. It is very difficult, and the risk is that people, in this coaching, do not make use of this information and rely largely on what they think is the best thing to do.

Unfortunately, there is no alternative to this risk except in the decision of the coach to embark on a personal path of self-development centered on the development of their leadership skills in the context where they operate.

It can be argued that the Federations and The School of Sport do not address this level of training, which in my opinion is essential for the professional development of those who would be truly motivated to go down this path. The risk as always is that these coaches rely on professionals with little experience or so-called motivators who promise a lot in a short time.

It is really a pity that sports organizations do not take care of these trainings that are instead widely used in the promotion of managers and potential young people in companies.
