Roughly what percentage of swim parents that you deal with would you
call ‘reasonable’?
© Capitis Consulting 2018
Most parents are reasonable
people who are trying to work
out what’s best for their child.
The Reality Is!
But we tend to let the crazy
minority tarnish our views of the
reasonable majority!

A & B - What Sport IS
C & D - What Sport DOES
© Capitis Consulting 2018
A + B tend to dominate what we do, and what we talk about.
But most of us are ultimately concerned on the long term with C + D.
How much time do we spend with our swimmers, parents and Board on C + D?

Human Behaviour• Parents are just people!
• While we are all different, we have similarities in how we:– Perceive things– Source information– Make decisions– Present/act to others
• Some of this is shaped by our specific life circumstances– Upbringing – what our parents, family & friends taught us and
believed in– Our formal education– Learnings from our unique life experience
• Some is simply down to who we are!– Our personality, how we subliminally, tacitly act
© Capitis Consulting 2018
Human Behaviour• Understanding human behaviour helps us understand how
to work better with people
• Is that person ‘bad’ or just different?
• Is that person trying to be difficult, or do they just see things a different way?
• Is how we are working with this person making them uncomfortable and we don’t realize it?
• Maybe this person who ‘doesn’t get it’ comes to a decision differently to me?
© Capitis Consulting 2018
Human Behaviour• 1921 – Carl Jung established four personality styles that
dictate how we think & process information– Thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition
• 1928 – William Moulton Marston developed this quadrant of personalities in– Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance
• 1940 – Walter Clark developed the DISC personality profiling system
• Many other similar personality systems exist, following the same quadrennial approach

Coaches Must Act Differently!• The parent is now the customer
– Which grants them greater power, a stronger say
• Athletes have better protection and rights– A good thing, but means coaches must behave differently, according to more rigid
policy and protocol
• More is expected of coaches and clubs in amateur sport environments– Sport consumers expect professionally employed, qualified coaches, even in
community sport
• Sport consumers are more selective, less loyal, expecting of choice– Millennial generation is used to shopping around, getting the best deal
• Respect for authority or professional experts is no longer assumed– Ranging from doctors, to teachers, to mechanics and sport coaches

We Must Avoid The Trap Of Coaching How We Were Coached!
✓ Coach to win, defined by podium results✓ Stereotypes about athletes✓ Losers are losers (don’t bother with them)✓ No accountability to parents✓ Aggressive training techniques✓ No development as a coach beyond initial qualifications✓ Master and commander

✓ Coach to win, defined by podium results✓ Stereotypes about athletes✓ Losers are losers (don’t bother with them)✓ No accountability to parents✓ Aggressive training techniques✓ No development as a coach beyond initial qualifications✓ Master and commander
✓ Coach to retain, defined by enjoyment, participation✓ Focus on inclusion of sport for all✓ Competing against yourself, not others✓ See parents as partners in athlete development✓ Integrated, periodized training based on LTAD principles✓ Committed to always learning and growing as coach✓ Open to feedback and constructive points of view

So To Manage & Motivate People As A Coach, We Must First:
• Know Where They Are Coming From– Podium? Performance? Person? Place?– How will they perceive us as a coach and what paradigm must we speak to
them in to motivate and connect?
• Understand What Behavioural Characteristics People Exhibit– What is explaining their behaviour?– How can we anticipate it and model our behaviour to them?
• Unlearn What We Learnt About Coaching When We Were Coached– When values, perspectives and pop culture were totally different– How can we embrace the reality of the ‘new’ and not just complain about it?

Focus On People’s Intrinsic Motivation!
