Think about your greatest coach ever. Think about what set them apart from other coaches and contributed to their effectiveness. Was it their programming and expertise, or was it just the way they spoke to you and affected your emotions? The former are important, but what distinguishes a coach from the others are their remarks. The Language of Coaching focuses on how communication affects a person’s capacity to acquire and execute an activity. The book, which was written by performance coach Nick Winkelman, explores the ways in which cueing, feedback, and instruction can have a big impact on training results. Winkelman leads you through useful coaching frameworks that will assist you in tailoring your language to the learning requirements of the people you support. His approach is based on motor learning and the science of attentional focus. Packed with eye-catching imagery, the book offers more than 25 movement sequences that describe various coaching cues. These include a visual representation of original analogies, like an athlete loading into a jump like a spring or a sprinter lifting off like a jet. A wide range of cueing frameworks are included in the book to let you create your own cues for any activity you wish to teach. With the help of sample dialogue that applies the cueing theory presented in the book, you will also discover how to have more fruitful conversations with your athletes. The Language of Coaching will help you develop as a communicator and learn how to coach the person with the same level of precision as you do the program, regardless of your level of coaching experience.
