Dear Sport Coaches, 

I want to start by thanking you for everything you do for your players. It wouldn’t be possible to operate without you. You provide a structured path for self-improvement by offering accountability, helping individuals set and achieve clear goals, providing guidance and support, fostering greater self-awareness, and unlocking enhanced performance, skills, and overall confidence.

I know it must be hard as a coach to deal with certain players or even have the mental capacity to deal with a win or a loss and to bounce back from that, and how you can always pick something negative or positive out of any outcome. And to have the motivation to push others to their best limits, while they also have to come up with tactics and formations to compete with opposing teams, and need to create the best possible lineup, which can be hard to choose between players. And I believe the hardest part of all is discipline; you must have it as a coach to give it to others, and for them to listen, it’s their job to seem like the bad guys. 

Something I didn’t find too surprising bout sports coaches includes that successful coaches have large egos and a strong, confident demeanor, are deeply committed to their work, and actively study the science of their sport. They are also skilled at finding each athlete’s unique motivational drivers and know when to step back to build athlete confidence, even while their own public image may be more demanding or aggressive. 

Sincerely, Pedro Vilca
