It’s tempting to think that the reason coaches are reluctant to adopt an “open book” approach to their coaching philosophy is that it’s the hard part.
Perhaps it’s a lack of reflective practice.
Or a lack of perceived value around going upstream to ask the big questions, like: What is your coaching for?
But what if that was the simple part, and the hard part was change?
Ask a coach about what they find frustrating, and I’m sure most will tell you it’s watching their students repeat the same mistake. Change is hard, and learning is not risk-free, which is why we need to design for it.
