Coaching Research to Results
Sport coaching research holds the answers to your biggest coaching questions, yet most of it stays buried in academic journals written for academics, not coaches like you.
In the Coaching Research to Results podcast, your host, Beth Barz, takes one real research paper and breaks it down into three big ideas and two actions you can apply in your next coaching session, all in under 15 minutes. If you want to coach smarter, not harder, this podcast is for you.
