This happens in the business world as well.
You have an exceptionally talented, high performing technical person who the company wants to reward so they promote them to a management or leadership role and then they struggle because that is not where their skills are.
What to do instead??? 👇
1) If the person truly wants a leadership role for the role/type of work (not just to makes more $$$), mentor and develop the person to prepare them for the role prior to promoting them so they are ready for the opportunity.
OR
2) If they're only interested in the leadership role for the money, aren't really interested in the job itself, and/or don't demonstrate the skills and capabilities needed to succeed in that role, create a technical advancement track so they can be promoted within their skill set and achieve additional reward.
Senior leader/head coach roles are ones you have to prepare for and are not a fit for eveyone.
The life of a competitive athlete is very demanding. Remember to take care of you & not just your sport & your team.
If you don't recharge & recover, you won't be able to be your best self & won't have anything to give to your sport & your team.
You are more than your sport.
Ever wonder how home run distance is determined in baseball & softball?

Protect your self-image & self-belief fiercely from outcomes & other people's opinions!
Self-image & self-belief is the foundation for the thoughts & feelings that drive the behaviors you need for happiness & success!
A bad performance is not a bad identity.
You can be disappointed with how you played without being disappointed in who you are.
Separate the performance from the person.
