To that end, <em><i>The<\/i><\/em>\u00a0<em><i>New Now<\/i><\/em>\u00a0delivers a snapshot of the work being done across elite sport to navigate these uncharted waters.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, maybe more than ever, your relationships\u00a0with your colleagues and peers are essential.\u00a0With this in mind, chapter 1 illustrates six considerations for high performance teams in the weeks and months ahead. We feature peer to peer dynamics, as well as the value in giving your practitioners a voice and the steps you can take to bring clarity to your performance messaging.<\/p>\n<p>The focus then switches to the relationship between athletes and coaches, as chapter 2 explores some of the latest approaches to talent development. We detail some ways in which training environments and skill acquisition can be calibrated to harness the ever-growing autonomy of athletes. As ever, trust is essential when looking to evolve your programs and philosophies.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all about the physical either. The stigma around mental health in sport continues to recede, which is critical given the ways the pandemic has increased levels of stress and anxiety to your athletes and staff alike. Chapter 3 explores steps that all teams can take to ensure the wellbeing of their people.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, chapter 4 rounds up some of the latest thinking in areas as diverse as adapting your environments for Generation Z, the value in creating data-literate communities across your organisations, and why emotions may not be the performance hindrance many consider them to be.<\/p>\n<p>There will no doubt be numerous challenges ahead as we adapt to the new now, but here at Keiser we share the Leaders Performance Institute\u2019s belief that your peers are an invaluable resource as we continue to navigate the pandemic and identify those competitive advantages that will stand us in good stead on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you find a series of insights within these pages to help with your ongoing projects.<\/p>\n<h4>Looking to stay ahead of the curve in the world of performance?<\/h4>\n<p>Complete the form below to receive exclusive access to articles, videos, podcasts, webinars and whitepapers containing high performance insights direct from the frontline of high performance to your inbox.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/info.leadersinsport.com\/l\/856843\/2020-09-24\/66y3n\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":659,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[22,21],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-8081","report","type-report","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaching-development-performance","category-human-performance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
