High Performance Coach

A High Performance Coach provides specialised training for sportspeople and teams. You might develop techniques for improving individual performances or devise new strategies for boosting team goals. A High Performance Coach, or Athlete Coach, might work on player motivation, fitness, skills or teamwork. You might help sportspeople recover from injury or deal with other personal issues.

High Performance Coaches should have excellent leadership skills and be able to motivate sportspeople. Communication skills are essential and you’ll need to be able to understand individual needs and concerns. High Performance Coaches need good problem solving abilities and it’s important that you can be flexible with a range of coaching strategies.
