As the Head of National Development within his role as a swim coach with Plymouth Leander in the UK, Matt Cross is all too familiar with the competitive world of helping others realize their goals. A great coach will find ways to attend to the individual goals of the group they oversee, because as Matt likes to say, "everyone has a different Olympic final"

Looking for performance coaching and to have the opportunity to be guided towards your goals? Reach out to Steve with Career Competitor at steve@careercompetitor.com so you can schedule a free 30-minute consultation today 

Matt and I discuss various elements within the coach-athlete relationship to consider, including

• Investing in the building of a relationship
• Managing the whole athlete and not just the performer
• Knowing when you should adapt to those around you
• Allowing the space for the occasional bad day
