How to Identify Problems that Hinder Achieving More?
The short answer – by searching.
Each specialist and coach can only see from their own perspective.
It’s good if that perspective comes with experience and understanding.
Sometimes it happens that a problem seems one way, but the solution is another.
It has happened that athletes come to me saying they no longer feel motivated or driven. A normal person's logic leads them to approach me because I work with these issues. However, when looking at the situation as a whole, it turns out that the athlete has a dramatic deficiency of certain microelements in their body.
This serves as a reminder that an athlete works with a team.
Everyone contributes as much as they can.
It is unhealthy to view things in isolation – communication and collaboration are essential to ensure that the flow of information is as transparent as possible, which helps identify problems much more accurately.
Perspectives.
Both the athlete themselves, the coach, and close people can learn to look at specific issues from different perspectives.
For example, if someone has lost motivation, it should be viewed from various angles – has something changed in the family? Is there a deficiency of microelements? Has the athlete gone through a life transition with an accompanying crisis? Is the athlete physically in their best form? Does the athlete understand the technique and tactics in detail, or have they missed something? You get the idea.
Problems can be found by searching and solved by addressing them.
