Coaches
SPORTSMINDED is available to teams and organizations in a number of capacities.
SportsMinded works with coaches and teams to help develop player-coach relations
and the team cohesion necessary to become a winning program. Our work with teams
involves both a group and individual approach utilizing discussion and
experiential exercises developed to foster a sense of cooperation,
responsibility, accountability, and cohesion.
SportsMinded also works with organizations on player selection. SportsMinded
first works with the organization to ascertain what characteristics they desire
in a player. Our selection process includes the use of a computer generated test
which assesses attention styles, focus, confidence, competitiveness and other
areas important in performance and team cohesiveness. This assessment tool is a
state of the art instrument standardized on Olympic and professional athletes.
In addition, the player selection process involves assessment interviews with
the athlete, coaches, and family members if available to consensually validate
the administered testing. This evaluation of player selection serves as an aid
to the organization in their own process and helps determine what they might
expect to see with particular players of interest. Player-Coach Relations
