Increasing the Athletes Competitive Drive

Increasing the Athletes Competitive Drive

March 27, 2018

Elite athletes are very competitive human beings. One of my roles is to harness the innate desire for athletes to compete against one another and create an environment where they can put this energy into a positive and safe direction. Most team cultures will already have a naturally competitive atmosphere, which can be used to propel teammates to get better. I want athletes to push each other based on their work ethic, but I still need each athlete to be working within their specifically prescribed limitations. I want athletes to compete with each other based on work ethic. Working in a safe manner becomes super imperative when you have multiple athletes training together at various strengths and levels. The culture that the athletes and myself will create will be full of energy and purely driven to improve.
