  • Individualized Coaching: Coaches should recognize and respond to the unique needs, abilities, and personalities of each athlete, rather than treating them all the same
  • Holistic Impact: Coaching should go beyond physical training to nurture the heart and mind, becoming a meaningful and potentially life-changing part of athletes’ experiences
  • Inclusive Inspiration: Coaches must inspire and uplift all athletes—from the stars to those who rarely play—helping each one feel valued and supported in their journey
