Become a Better Rider or Coach by Listening To Your Inner Child & Different Mindsets

Are adults just big kids? The answer, as always, is yes and no. Adults present some specific challenges in the way the learn as compared to kids. In this episode your hosts focus on three important ideas to help your understanding of how to coach adult riders: Connectedness, Language, and Mindsets. Here we dig into:

• Creating connections that foster trust
•  How the coach is a guide through cognitive terrain as much as the physical terrain
• How adults sometimes need to re-learn how to learn
• The connection between language and performance
• Remembering to have fun
• How to use positive self-talk
• The relationship between judgement and emotions
• Belief in performance as a key indicator of success
• The power of objectivity
• When not to coach
• Three Mindsets -- Beginners, Growth-Oriented, and Sustainers
• Dealing with burnout
• The Donut of the day!
