Transform your environment for better performance

Introduction

Do you want to boost your athletes’ performances for a lifetime? The truth is, 80% of success is mental and only 20% is physical. If your athletes are unable to get their head in the game, then how about transforming their environment for the results?

I can collaborate with you to transform your academy’s environment to improve the athletes’ collective performances for a lifetime.

Case Studies

Gaps in Coach-Athelete communications

In a badminton Academy in Chennai, players were ranging between 16 and 21 years of age, and the majority were from other states of India. Hence, the Academy was facing issues like reduced motivation among players. The players were frequently performing well in training sessions but not in competitions.
 
Once I was called in, I conducted an assessment for the players and coaches. Post the assessment, I was able to understand their gaps in coach-athlete communication, and in the emotional regulation of the athletes. I planned an initial intervention for 3 months, which included coach education workshops (to teach them effective communication and how to give feedback), and individual sessions with athletes (to teach them techniques they could use during the training sessions and competition).

FAQs

How can you help us?

I can help with either working on the athletes’ or team’s mindset. I can also work on creating a better performance environment for the athletes. A diagnosis of the issue will be done followed by the planning and execution of the intervention which will include individual or group sessions or workshops for the required individuals.

Will you take workshops for coaches?
Yes of course, I have specialized workshops for the coaches as well.
Will you take workshops for parents or athletes?
My workshops can be done for both the parents and the athletes, either separately or together.
 
How will you work with academies outside of Chennai?
Although my home base is currently Chennai, I will be able to work with these academies partly in-person and partly online.
Why is it important for us to create a better environment for our athletes?
Athletes look for role models everywhere. Parents and coaches are very important role models. If the environment is not conducive to grow, then there are chances that they chose to quit or underperform. When the environment is conducive for growth, they end up performing better and sustaining it for a longer period of time.
How old does the athlete need to be to work with you?
To engage my services, I require that the athlete is a minimum of 8 years old. There is no upper limit on the ages of the athletes I will work with.
