Coach John O'Sullivan of Changing the Game Project discusses transactional vs. transformational coaching (read more here) and why we parents need to seek out coaches who are truly invested in the development of the whole child, not just the tennis player. We also talk about the "sweet spot of involvement" for parents and how we parents need to adjust constantly throughout our child's junior development. Lastly, we touch on the challenges of coaching your own child and how best to separate "coach" versus "parent" on and off the court. You can find John's podcast here - I encourage you to check it out! Coaches may be interested in the Way of Champions conference coming this summer to New Jersey. You can find out more here.
