[NEWS FLASH] Sport has changed! The world of sport today is a far cry from the world of sport 20, 15 even 10 years ago. Today it is a high pressure, high demand, high powered multi billion dollar industry and one that can deliver the greatest of highs and the thumping lows –⁠ all in the space of a weekend. And this rapidly changing face of sport is being driven by the ever increasing expectation of faster, stronger, more outstanding athletes willing to put their careers and lives on the line. As coaches, you think you are expected to have all the answers even before they have the questions; have all the knowledge and expertise at the drop of a hat. You can often feel vulnerable when you don’t! (...not that you would let on...) As sport changes, so does the role of those who play an integral part in it. The increased use of “Support Specialist” in every day training is helping to share the load and add more quality to the athletes preparation. However, with this increase in the team numbers comes some friction, as some coaches are finding it hard to let go of that I’m in charge mentality. In this episode of Brain in the Game we explore the positives and the negatives of building the entourage. So what are you waiting for? Find out what you need to know about your role in the athletes development.
