CoachTED: A Client Focused Approach to Coach Training, Education and Development.

Coach education is at the crossroads.

Winning in India at the 2010 Commonwealth Games: Are you already talking yourself out of a medal?

The 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, are only months away.

What are we hearing from some athletes, coaches, administrators, the media and the public?

“It’s going to be hot over there”

“I am so worried about the security issues”

“How will we manage the travel?”

“I’m worried about the food and the health issues”

“I’m an endurance athlete – how will I compete when I have to breathe in all that pollution”.

Here’s a solution for you – don’t go!

If you are already talking yourself out of medal contention, then don’t go. Drop out. Give up  now.

Or learn from this……

The question you have to ask yourself is…..which one am I?
