GEN Z - Updates From the Field:
Effectively Coaching Gen Z
in an Optimal Sport Experience
Continuing education for how to communicate, connect with, and coach today’s student-athlete. This course takes into account the current landscape of sport and offers tangible insights into creating an optimal sport experience for coaches and athletes.
If you’re a coach and you’ve found that...Â
✔ "Kids these days" are expressing strong emotions more frequently - often in the form of tears
✔ “Respect your elders” doesn’t hold the same weight with today’s athletes as it used to
✔ Many of today's student-athletes find it challenging to maintain a sense of confidence
✔ Today's student-athletes aren’t as resilient and need more support than previous generations.
