\nCOACHING CHALLENGE | Define your why & coaching style
\n
\n
\n
\nThis challenge seems simple, but we’re going to ask you to dig a little deeper. Almost every coach will say something like “I coach to help develop great players and strong young women.” Which is true! But when we dig a little deeper, we discover that we all approach that goal in different ways.
\n
\n
\n
\nYour challenge it to dig deeper into your own coaching style and what drives you to show up every day. Once you’ve figured this out, you’ll be able to get through any rough patch with total belief that you’re still doing what you should be doing.
\n
\n
\n
\nIf you’d like a little guidance, discover your Sparketype. This quick, 10-minute survey will help you discover specifically what drives you. When you receive your results you’ll be able to more clearly see how YOU can best develop the person under the jersey \ud83d\ude42
