Steve discusses lessons from the frontline of working with elite performers with Jamie Pringle, Rosie Mayes. We discuss the essentials of that initial engagement with elite athletes, what to do and what not to do. Getting clarity around your role and what you're working to so that you can prioritise. What clues you might be drawing from the environment, the culture that can help you connect with others and be more effective. Importantly we discuss how some of our behaviours, actions and the bonds between us change under the pressure of competition.
What is it like to work with an elite athlete?
Understanding the culture and environment of sport
Applying your skill and experience to the high performance training environment
Step into the shoes of your athlete, see and experience what they do.
Working with high level performers, winning Olympic medals, but the hard work is completed day in day out on the track or pool
What if they are not interested in the science?
The world doesn't revolve around you
Team sports have their own culture and identity
Cultural intelligence, what do you learn and how do you apply it?
Using humility and credibility in a high performance environment…it's not about you!
Losing naivety, understanding your role, the athlete role and clarity of knowledge
Expecting less from a performance based relationship
Don't fall into the trap of wanting to be valued!
Team identity and the pressure that increases the close to high performance moments
Recognising the pressure for others increasing when you might also be feeling an increase in pressure
Wanting a sense of team belonging and an amplification when under pressure
Searching for certainty in pressure situations
Consistency in training and consistency in performance is a good marker as how you will perform on the day
Get involved in the culture, atmosphere and connect with the individual. The relationships you build on a one to one basis and the development of trust is invaluable.
