PERSONALIZED TRAINING
FOR COACHING SUCCESS
ASTONISHING FACT
A recent study found that 67% of women's basketball student-athletes did not enjoy their experience.
I think we would all agree this is unacceptable.
Women's basketball is the flagship sport and thus
has the greatest resources dedicated to it.
When that investment is not cultivated due to
coaches needing help, it can be expensive and damaging to the athletes, department, and university...
and career-ending for the coach.
It is widely recognized that college coaches lack
formal training. The level of preparation is dependent upon the knowledge that they have learned from coaches in their own playing experiences and self-learning.
This simply leaves the majority of coaches needing help.

Charli Turner Thorne, Arizona State University Head Women's Basketball Coach
Listen as Charli Turner Thorne gives her answer to the question: How Does Struggle Create Success? There is no success without struggle. There is no growth without failure. Success starts at the end of your comfort zone. Teaching your athletes that there is no such thing as failure - everything is a learning opportunity - will help to cultivate a growth mindset. Embracing failure is necessary at this high level of play, especially for high female competitors who may lack self compassion when they do not achieve what they want to.

Transformative approach to coaching: Put the woman ahead of the athlete. Make sure they are in a good place as a person first before focusing on their identity as an athlete. How we help athletes personally as well as professionally can be equally beneficial and create a championship culture.

Preparation breeds confidence. If you’re playing it safe, you’re probably not getting better. Focus on the process rather than being results oriented so your players will do the same. Master your mindset – how do you not just let things happen to you, but reframe them in a way that makes you better and stronger as a person and as an athlete?
