7 Steps to Develop Self-driven, Motivated Gymnasts: Innovative Coaching Tools to Elevate Kids
Region 1 Sunday Athlete Wellness
Presenter(s): Lisa Mitzel
Session Summary

You want kids to be motivated. Boost coaching skills, enhance intrinsic motivation, self-determined motivation and wellbeing in kids. Participate in exercises and learn about autonomy-supportive coaching to establish and increase kids’ ability to feel ownership of their gymnastics, in control of their mind and body, focused on the task at hand, and take risks to reach their goals. Success in coaching kids is not in directing or controlling them, but rather it’s inside an intelligent human foundation of feeling happy, motivated, and self-driven.
