“I used to beat these toads…now I’m losing to them.”
“Regrouping begins by reassessing current efficiencies and deficiencies.”
When athletes are no longer getting the results, they believe they’re capable of, I recommend conducting an honest assessment of their current training and match preparation. With few exceptions, I find that the athlete has changed their developmental routines and not for the better. In these situations, a fresh start makes a world of difference.
I’m a bit more detailed than the average coach. When I’m hired to revive a stalled career, I begin with a 300 Point Assessment of the athlete’s life skills, weekly developmental routines, primary & secondary strokes, mental skills, emotional skills, and incorporate match video analysis. Together, the athlete and I assess their confidence level, under pressure in each category. By doing so, we relaunch their progression with a new deliberate, customized developmental plan.
Revitalizing a career begins by organizing the athlete’s developmental plan.
