Before the Conversation

How strong is your coaching when the moment gets hard?

The 60-Second Coaching Audit measures four areas that show up when the conversations get difficult.

01

Clarity

Do your athletes know where they stand?

02

Consistency

Does the standard apply to everyone?

03

Care

Would they bring you the real thing?

04

Courage

Do you say the hard thing on time?

12 questions.
60 seconds.
Start where it hurts.
