3 Habits of High Performing Coaches

I’ve been really fortunate to meet a lot of awesome coaches in the last five years of traveling and speaking. These include gymnastics coaches, strength coaches, sports psychology coaches, and more.

Jason Leydon is someone who I have learned a ton from and really enjoy having some conversations with.

Along with owning a very successful strength and conditioning gym in Milford, CT, Jay has coached dozens of national and international fitness athletes.

I asked Jay to join me on SHIFT’s new #ExpertOfTheMonth series to chat about

3 traits and practices he thinks every coach needs to be successful – communication, observation, and ego management.
The concept of stress management in high-performing athletes, and how to strike the balance between pushing athletes and easing back when necessary.
Managing team dynamics, and tailoring coaching styles based on athlete personalities.
What coaches can do for personal development to constantly stand top of their game.

Jay’s full nterview can be found here (just a warning he gets a little fired up and drops some curses, haha!)
