Today I took my son for his first run, and oh boy! It went as expected 😅.
I will cover my thoughts on it with a separate post, but for now I wanted to show you my favourite coaching tool in action:
"On a scale 1-10..."
I love using this method with my kids and clients for a few reasons, but the most important one is that it teaches my son to be self-aware and retrospective.
If I let him judge his performance with: it was ok,
I would be creating a problem further down the line.
It's a slippery slope when your mind looks at your performance and labels it with vague statement.
It's near impossible to build character, confidence and mindset with vaque statements.
I can't let my son walk that path, so I took my time to get him used to this tool.
Have you tried it yet?
