Getting the most from a coach-athlete relationship.
We describe how we do it in our own personal coaching practices and what we have found that works, including a good rhythm, communication, expectations, needs, goals, and so on.
Long-term athletes–what it is like to coach someone for 14-19 years (we each have had athletes for that long!) and how this relationship between coach and athlete evolves over time.
Short-term athletes—when someone comes to you with specific goals and a shorter-duration relationship.
When athletes take downtime for an extended period without specific goals, and how coaching evolves during those times.
How we as coaches have changed, inevitably, over time and how this affects our athletes (hopefully for the better).
And many more personal stories from two long-time endurance coaches!
