If people who lead in youth sports–coaches, captains, players and parents–are emotionally inteligent, they’re more likely to help a team weather its ups and downs.
Caleb Chambliss, a licensed mental health counselor, leadership coach and athlete development specialist explains how emotional intelligence begins with self-awareness–a trait that helps both adults and players better understand their emotions and the emotions of others.
This trait allows captains and coaches help players be the best players possible.
It also helps the players. Once they recognize how they’re feeling, they’re better able to let go of fear of failure, play intuitively and take risks that lead to growth, he said.
