To that end we drafted in Dan Quinn, who was appointed Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 and led them to Super Bowl LI as NFC champions in 2017, and Dallas Eakins, who just completed his maiden season as Head Coach of the NHL\u2019s Anaheim Ducks. Both have been impacted by the pandemic, which formed a major part of the discourse. Here is a summary of their observations:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Now is the time to double down and teams that stay attuned will have a chance to do something special next season. It is constant pushing and pulling. Remind them of the sacrifices made by their families the competition at the highest level \u2013 there is always a player ready to take your uniform.<\/li>\n<li>Virtual learning has been a good opportunity to customise learning for players and to optimise opportunities for questions and feedback. Suggest your rookie players enter the building with a playing mentor whom they can periodically turn to for advice.<\/li>\n<li>The pandemic has taught young athletes greater self-sufficiency. For example, as Eakins explains, the Ducks\u2019 players have learnt to cook or work on their own. It is sensible to control some matters in performance but self-sufficiency breeds confidence and competence.<\/li>\n<li>This period also presents a good opportunity for peer to peer feedback without coaches as players communicate with each other. This has been an unintended benefit. Coaches will take back the reins but athletes setting goals for themselves or choosing a priority has benefited their development.<\/li>\n<li>This has also been a perfect time to fail. The Falcons in particular practised their teaching, particularly video coaching, and it did not always go smoothly, but coaches learnt and improved.<\/li>\n<li>The Falcons also rely on three pillars to put a framework of clarity around their team culture:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. Ball \u2013 your learning, deliberate practice. Everything that helps a player to fulfil their potential.<\/p>\n<p>2. Battle \u2013 creating an environment that normalises stress and pressure.<\/p>\n<p>3. Brotherhood \u2013 we are all connected and an extension of one another.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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":2404,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[22,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2403","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaching-development-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
