Dr Ashley Allanson of Ohio University joined Tom Shields and Mark Wilson for a wonderful hour, “Exploring the Social Dynamics of Coaching Behavior”. Dr. Allanson challenged coaches to better understand why and how they coach in the way they coach and provided some fascinating insight into the impact of often neglected coaching behaviors. Body Language, Intonation and Emotional State were all explored as we discussed the inability of coaches to separate their psycho-social influence over players from any singular portion of practice. Understanding the constant presence of psych-social influence provides grounds for coaches to attend to this often neglected corner of their development with much greater detail.
