Developed by Paddle UK Performance Psychologist, Jonathan Smith, these resources on Skills to Develop have been created to assist coaches working with developing athletes.
Skills to Develop is one of the four pillars of the High Performing People Framework. The resources included below aim to provide useful information on the key characteristics of Resilience, Openness to Learning and Self Awareness.
The recommendation is to use these resources to help understand key theories underpinning the characteristics and to provide practical suggestions as to how to apply them.
The resources aren’t designed to be directly used by athletes, but instead to be used by the coach to think about how the information might be best applied with the specific group they coach based on their age, experience, and unique characteristics. If you have access to a performance psychologist then involving them in the conversation would be beneficial.
