What does your coaching toolbox contain? The below diagram only illustrates 3 components of my toolbox, however, these 3 components still have many subsections within them and it's possible to go into even more detail than I already have.
Being able to review, add to or replace your tools in your toolbox is a vital part of the coaching framework. By standing back and looking at what this toolbox contains I can already assess my own strengths and weaknesses as a coach, and of course areas which require updating.
All coaches operate using a toolbox, they dip in and out of it every time they coach. Having a wide variety of tools to use and pick from can open up your coaching methods and provide you with a greater depth of understanding, which will only benefit your athletes.
My thanks are passed onto James Marshall, who first brought this idea to my attention.
