It’s a phrase coaches often use, but how does anyone truly gain that self-belief? Confidence isn’t something you can simply purchase.
Just talking about confidence isn’t enough.
With PACT, coaches will acquire practical methods to cultivate mental resilience, empowering young athletes to go on to reach their full potential.
Understanding confidence, identifying negative thinking, and much more.
The PACT programme is based on real-life experiences. We talked to coaches and students to discover what they think about confidence, how it can be affected, and why it’s important. You’ll hear some of their insights in the course.
Discover the key characteristics of confidence that players need to help them cope at the level they are
playing.
Confidence ranges from low self-esteem to arrogance, and a happy spot somewhere in the middle. Understand where each of your players fit at all times.
Teach children to recognise and stop negative thinking by showing them how to convert unhelpful thoughts into
positive beliefs.
It can be affected by issues at home, in school or by other outside influences. This module will help coaches when giving advice to those experiencing a spell of underperformance.
The final module examines the effects of negative coaching and the important aspects of positive coaching
The ultimate goal of PACT is to give coaches the ability to teach their players how to identify negative thinking patterns, while empowering them with the skills to dismiss the fears that hinder their self-confidence.
The programme features the essential tools needed for training mental skills, and comes with a full suite of implementation resources designed to fully support coaches in their day-to-day activities, including:
If you use the 4-corner model of coaching, your sessions probably include Technical,Tactical, and Physical skills – but teaching mental skills is all too often overlooked.
PACT’s full suite of resources will help coaches teach invaluable skills like:
How do we develop skills like decision-making and responsibility? They are embedded in our character-and not always nurtured.Teach your athletes to evaluate decisions in a thoughtful manner and take responsibility for the results.
Positive thinking will help your players to override their doubts and doubters. It can be a huge asset during a challenging situation. Through interactive exercises and take-away resources, we’ll show you how to develop these positive attitudes.
Leadership isn’t just for captains: It’s a valuable skill in every relationship.A great leader knows when to take a risk, and always keeps an eye on the entire team.Teach your players that they don’t need an armband to be a leader.
In sport, confidence is closely tied to results. But we’re stronger when we learn to maintain confidence during adversity. And there are methods for building confidence when not on a winning streak. Are you ready to learn them?
