Understanding Self

Coaches are required to lead and manage themselves appropriately , to in turn help the development and performance of others towards achievement of desired development and / or performance goals . A coach learns and develops in many ways and their viewpoint develops from their life experiences , generating habits , biases and preferences along the way . Coaches in high-performance sport environments must recognise and understand how their intra-personal knowledge and skills develop and as a result may impact their inter-personal and professional knowledge and skills .
