Coaching and Leadership Styles

Sports profiling system helps you to understand your coaching style

Many people when they start looking deeper into sports coaching, look into the different coaching styles to gain a better understanding of the types of styles out there. They may then research well-known coaches in their sport, the type of coaching styles they like or feel at ease with and then try to model themselves on that style of coaching.

Here at Athlete Assessments we believe in helping sports coaches gain an insight and better understanding of their own personality type, thus providing them with ALL of the tools coaches need to get more out of their style of coaching.

Coaching Leadership Style

The type of coaching style you fall under will depend largely on your personality type. You can gain a better understanding of your coaching personality by ordering your CoachDISC profile and completing the online survey. As a coach, your personal CoachDISC behavioral profile enables you to:

• Build self-awareness of your coaching style, preferences, strengths and limitations.
• Understand the impact you have on your athletes and fellow coaching staff.
• Learn how to apply your style, improve your communication and adapt your behavior to encourage greater, more consistent results from each of your athletes and/or your team.
• Use a tangible methodology to develop and improve your communication with others.
• Get feedback from others about how they perceive your behavior. (You can build a '360 degree' profile by asking your peers to evaluate you).
• All this is backed by a fully refundable 100% money back guarantee.

Types of Coaching Styles

Using Athlete Assessments’ CoachDISC program you will be able to define yourself and your type of coaching style. Take John Wooden of UCLA fame, he taught his athletes to prepare themselves to be the best they could be, not to be better than their opponents... then the results would take care of themselves.

This approach outlines Coach Wooden’s knowledge of himself and his players and the quiet confidence that's exuded when you know yourself and your abilities. This type of sports coaching style led John Wooden to be America's most successful college basketball coach.
