COACH LIKE AN OLYMPIAN
"I want you to have a picture of what goes on in the coach`s world for and at an Olympic Games. So this is both about what goes on behind the scenes and what is up front on the stage. Material is naturally from my own personal experience and a substantial reservoir of ancedotes and observation of people and situations that make history from 1972 Olympics through the 2012 run in. Presentations and /or interactive workshops are themed to your requirement. Of course, sport and business are covered and I believe you will find they relate to you and will help you be all you are capable of becoming; becasue thats what winning is for Olympians" - Frank - more info


THE HARD WAY IS THE BEST WAY
"You don`t learn to climb mountains by going around them or using a ladder you learn by climbing them" The tough road to the Olympics is not easy. There are obstacles in the way but athletes see this as a challenge and the fact is, that by being challenged they raise their game. In any arena its imperative to keep raising your performance and take on those moutains. THEMES -  Learning the Tough Route Advantage, Winning Attitudes, Performance Build,

PREPARED TO PERFORM
We are not in total control of results but we can control our own performance and those whose performance we influence. Raising collective performance is the key to making the results they seek both achievable and probable. Using his Olympic coaching experience Frank discusses examples from his own career and covers five themes of performance delivery. THEMES - Performance of a Lifetime, Performance Pathway,  Coping with the Different & Difficult, Potential & Performance


OUR POWER
Whether planning or learning, our advantage is in interdependence, in doing it together. This is essential when it comes to any team sports in an Olympic Games. In the presentation, Frank examines some of the great team achievements and relates it to a business environment through six themes. THEMES - Team Build, Number on Your Shirt,  Badge on your Shirt, You in Your Shirt,

 
COACHWORK
Every athlete needs a coach. In athletics, coaching is perceived to be about preparing for better or different performance but it is much more than that. Everyone has experience of coaching in some shape or form. This presentation looks at how we can learn to be more coachable and to develop our coaching ability. THEMES - Coaching Purpose, Coaching Practice, Coaching Focus, Coach 2 Coach
