In sport we talk more about mental health than performance
Have we prioritised performance & pushed winning hard
What if performance & winning aren’t the problem, instead the real issue is the lack of quality connections
What if the crisis of connection is what’s driving mental health challenges?
Coaching has always been an act of leadership. From the Ancient Olympics to Oxford tutors in the 1850s, coaching has meant more than instruction…it’s about care for another’s development…
As a leader are you truly carrying people forward, or simply telling them where to go?

This video was created with my colleague Dr. Svenja Wachsmuth as part of an innovative initiative funded by the International Olympic Committee OSC
Our goal was to bring to life just how important the quality of the coach-athlete relationship is for performance & wellbeing
#performance #wellbeing
You want great leaders/coaches?
Then look closely at the relationships that anchor their leadership
Leadership isn’t about managing relationships (eg., minimising conflict)
It’s about creating & sustaining high-quality relationships that elevate everyone involved
