1. POSITIVE COACHING SCOTLAND DEFINING SUCCESS IN A MASTERY ENVIRONMENT
Within a mastery coaching environment, everyone wants to win.

SMALL PICTURE

Mastery coaches should teach young people that striving to be successful is a positive trait – however this is very short term, not always in their control and doesn’t always improve them as athletes and as people
BIG PICTURE
The big picture in a mastery coaching environment it to develop the person and the athlete – where a mastery coach has a positive impact not only on the young person’s sporting ability, but also their life.
A mastery coach is one that recognises both the small and the big picture where the key focus is on winning, but also:
Fun and enjoyment
Achievement
Health
Improvement
