Question is: What style of coaching suits you?
Everyone is different and people respond to different approaches. As a previously coached runner (now coach myself) I felt the coaches I had, never really 'Got me going'. They meant well, but didn't connect exactly on my level. . .
. .And honestly, I've not connected perfectly well with every runner I've coached. I've made many mistakes with my own methods and probably will many more. Still learning.
Some don't need you to say a word, some need to hear it gently, some want constructive feedback, some want it in black and white. . .
. .I suppose the skill as a coach is, understanding which one is needed for each individual. . .
. .one thing I can't hide inside is maximum passion!
