We welcomed a number of speakers onto the main stage for a series of Lightning Talks at the UK Coaching Conference in Loughborough. Each gave a quickfire 10-minute presentation.
Mark Bennett MBE is the founder of Performance Development Services (PDS) and spoke about supporting positive change in athlete behaviours.
A former British Commando and senior instructor within the Army Physical Training Corps, Mark said that embedding behaviours to support individual, cultural and environmental change is a process that is as challenging for the coach as it is for the player.
His presentation is a must-watch for coaches who want their athletes to accept peer feedback, become more engaged and self-reliant, more confident in making in-play decisions, more adept at adapting and problem-solving under pressure, and generally take more ownership, responsibility and accountability.
