Assessing coach experience and defining success

Being a head coach can be one of the most exposed leadership roles in sport. Every decision is scrutinised. Every result is judged. And the pressure rarely switches off.

That’s why the relationship between a head coach and the people supporting performance is so critical. Mental performance coach Aaron Walsh and performance strategist Andrew May explain why their first step with any team is aligning with the head coach.

Clear expectations. Honest conversations. A shared understanding of what the mental skills program can actually deliver.

Without that alignment, even the best program can struggle to land.

This Bite Size reveals what those early conversations look like and why respecting the pressure head coaches carry is essential to building trust, influence, and lasting performance change.
