Habit patterns

Sports coaches and players try to get it right the first time but invariably end up spending a lot of time trying to correct technique faults and bad habits that somehow develop.

Once established, habit pattern errors like technique faults are notoriously hard to correct because they actually disable learning of correct technique and slow down or completely block improvement. This makes an athlete uncompetitive and can lead to a career-threatening performance slump.

The typical advice to practice skill drills and train hard is usually not very effective. The athlete may appear to improve during training but repeatedly falls back to old ways under pressure of competition.

Transfer of training from skills coaching sessions and practice drills to competition is consequently poor.

Transition training, required when the athlete has to change over to a new code, new equipment, new techniques or new rules, presents similar adjustment difficulties. Old habits die hard.

Fortunately, a coaching science discovery called Old Way New Way® Sports Coaching offers:

1. A new perspective on the transfer of training problem.

2. A cost-effective and user-friendly method for rapid skill and technique correction, and habit correction.

3. A fast and practical method of sports transition training.

This page describes our sports coach development courses and how you can become proficient in the Old Way New Way® method of coaching sport

Technique improvement: What makes our courses different?

80%+ technique improvement after one Old Way New Way coaching session

While we cannot offer you a "magic bullet" or a "quick fix" to solve your problems, we do give you the knowledge and techniques you need to change others and yourself.

This knowledge consists of a course of instruction in why self change is hard, why skills, behaviours, techniques and old habits die hard. You will learn an alternative explanation for these problems and a new solution.

You will also learn a new, powerful and user friendly technique for changing your skills, techniques, actions, behaviour and habits quickly and permanently.

The correction process and the way we go about it is completely transparent - nothing is kept back or hidden under the pretext of "professional secrets".

We will pass on to you our professional expertise in how to achieve self change - by the time you finish with us you will know, "how to do it" - you will be empowered to take personal control of the change process.

Traditional change methods often give you only a slow rate of change and the change may not last very long - plenty of pain and no gain.

When you use our approach successfully your efforts will be rewarded with faster improvement and lasting benefits - much less pain and more gain.

You can then help others change themselves, using this knowledge and technique.

Each course is tailor made to suit your specific requirements.

Each course is strongly applied and highly practical and involves live work with athletes in sports performance situations; there is a minimum of "classroom" type learning and what there is can be immediately applied to the "live work" component of the course.
