In this heartfelt session, IMLCA Founder Richie Meade reflects on the core of coaching: what it truly means to be a good coach and how to carry that forward in your work with athletes.
Key takeaways include:
-
Remembering the original purpose: helping coaches for the good of the game
-
Defining what “the right way” to coach looks like, based on personal values and influences
-
Recognizing the impact of coaches who genuinely care
-
Going above and beyond, expending energy and attention beyond what’s required
-
Maintaining a focus on developing kids the right way while sustaining passion and dedication
This is a reflective framework coaches can immediately apply to lead with care, inspire athletes, and reinforce the values that make coaching meaningful.
