Celebrating people’s endeavours and encouraging them to recognise and appreciate one another – whether in team or individual sports – are two great ways to ensure that everyone engaged in your coaching sessions helps to support a positive environment.
Recognition and appreciation are words often used interchangeably. But while they’re both important, there’s a big difference between them. In a coaching context, where we are looking to create environments in which people can thrive, it’s important to understand the distinction.
