How to improve player commitment [7Cs]

Published on: 1st October, 2018

Instead of asking "how do I motivate my players?" you would be better served to focus on how to improve commitment. Motivation is often based on how they feel, but commitment is a skill. And skills can be worked on and improved!

Today we discuss what being Committed is all about. We talk about what it looks like when players are and aren't committed, what we coaches can do to help or hurt commitment, and some more specific tips on how to improve commitment and mental toughness.

After listening to this episode you'll be able to:

  • See what commitment does and doesn't look like
  • Avoid (unintentionally) hurting commitment
  • Practice how to improve commitment
  • Explain the benefits of being committed
  • Learn from Alicia's experience last season using our system

The post How to improve motivation in sport [7Cs] appeared first on Mental Sweet Spot.
