Any sporting success relies on excellence in coaching, team management, support and administration. Would the important people who keep your sporting organisation running smoothly benefit from the opportunity to continuously improve too?
Based on our experience with clients and feedback from top sporting organisations, we’ve developed a program to focus on the key areas people involved in sport struggle with. If you work in sport and want to improve your results (and enjoyment!), read on.
This one-day program cuts through to the essentials of leadership, communication and influencing skills. It covers the three most important areas of personal effectiveness: Master Communication, Understanding Yourself & Others and Resolving Conflict.
Specifically for the Sports Industry
With the Personal Effectiveness Program:
- Find out the secrets of master communicators.
- Ensure fewer communication breakdowns.
- Take the guess-work out of how to connect and pitch your message successfully every time.
- Build on the solid foundation of where leadership development starts, self-awareness.
- Avoid or effectively deal with politics, conflict and challenges with confidence and ease.
- Work with an expert facilitator who knows sport. Bo Hanson, 4x Olympian and Coaching Consultant, ensures your experience is enjoyable, practical and will make a valuable difference when you go back to work.
- Network with like-minded sports professionals.
This isn’t another touchy feely fluffy training program. It is stacked with real strategies that can be put into practice and get results the very next day! Athlete Assessments has the unique background and experience, in both sport and the business world, to provide excellence in professional development for ‘the business side of sport’.
About the Personal Effectiveness Program
Program Modules
One thing that is for sure, it is never your technical expertise that holds you back. Most often, it is dealing with the people side. With this program, you will clearly identify and further develop the factors that will lift your work performance to the next level. It’s specifically for the sports industry. The full day program covers 3 key modules:
1. Effective Communication:
- Get the secrets of an exceptional communicator.
- Develop your ability to connect and work effectively with a diverse range of personalities.
- Learn techniques that enhance your ability to get your message across.
2. Understanding Yourself, Coaches, Athletes & Colleagues:
- No matter what level in the organisation you are, leadership development starts from the same foundation – self-awareness.
- The ManagerDISC and CoachDISC profiles are extremely effective self-awareness tools specifically for those in the sports industry.
- Take the guess-work out of what works and what doesn’t with those you interact with.
- Ensure there are less communication breakdowns.
3. Resolving Conflict:
- Whether we like it or not, much of our work can be stalled by conflict, politics and people not getting along.
- Understand the nature of conflict, when to address it and how.
- Learn your own unique conflict style, how to recognise another person’s and seek resolution quickly, effectively and with all parties feeling positive.
Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles
DISC’s primary purpose is developing self-awareness and providing a framework to understand, then build effective relationships with others. Why is this important? Because in sport, what differentiates the best is never just physical or technical ability. Instead, it is who has the best mental, emotional and relationship skills. (The 2008 Olympic Study showed the top factors contributing to medal and PB performances, were a strong coach-athlete relationship, and a high level of athlete self-awareness.) As Joe Gibbs said: “You don’t win with X’s and O’s. What you win with is people.” DISC Profiling is the fastest and most effective way to develop the ‘people side’ of sport.
DISC Profiling provides practical strategies to improve performance through:
- Developing self-awareness,
- Effective communication,
- More productive relationships,
- Tailoring coaching, and
- Identifying how each person contributes their best.
Its applications range from improving team effectiveness and interpersonal relationships, to leadership development, to recruitment and professional development plans.
Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles are specifically tailored to sport.
Each assessment includes a 12-minute online survey and results in a personalized DISC Profile Report (with summaries for easy use). It details the individual’s personal style, strengths, limiting behaviors, communication preferences and the environment they perform best in.
For Coaches – the CoachDISC Profile:
The distinguishing factor of great coaches is their constant pursuit for the competitive edge, in their athletes and themselves. Coaches will better understand their coaching styles (and their fellow coaches’ and staff) to find new ways to further improve their coaching and communication with athletes and others. Their coaching results will only further improve, guaranteed!
For Sports Administrators & Professionals – the Sports ManagerDISC Profile:
Provide your people with comprehensive understanding of themselves and those they work with. It quickly improves communication, working relationships and ultimately results. Use with recruitment, as a foundation for professional development plans or part of a team building exercise.
For Athletes & Players – the AthleteDISC Profile:
Get practical strategies to coach athletes to their individual needs. Know the behaviors producing their best performances for greater consistency when it counts the most. Help your athletes build self-awareness to make improvements and take greater responsibility for their behavior, on and off “the field”.
Be strategic. Free up your valuable time from the stress of ‘people issues’.
