Show Notes
Coaches and instructors play a crucial role in our growth as agility handlers. In this episode, Sarah, Jennifer, and Esteban reflect on the many different types of coaching available to competitors, both inside and outside the agility world, and how they can help shape your skills, mindset, and confidence.
You don't have to be in a weekly class to benefit from a coach. And you don't need a title to be one. Whether it's a fellow competitor, a sports psychologist, a trial buddy, or an online instructor helping you prep for a big event, coaching is everywhere, and it's evolving fast thanks to technology.
You Will Learn- How video, slow motion, and remote platforms have changed the coaching game.
- The surprising places coaching can come from, even outside of agility.
- The specialized types of coaches we've each worked with (contacts, mental management, event prep, and more).
- Why you might be acting as someone's coach already and how to embrace that role.
- How a community built on shared learning makes agility better for everyone.
