A coach’s values and beliefs have a major impact on their coaching behaviour as they motivate them, help them make decisions, show us who they are and better understand them. In the sporting environment, they keep them motivated whilst they deliver and perform their sessions and help to develop their knowledge and understanding of people they meet on a daily basis.
