From Player to Leader: Cindy Tye on Identity, Transition, and Coaching

Описание: From Player to Leader: Cindy Tye on Identity, Transition, and Coaching. In this episode of Trauma, Training & Transformation, Dr. James Alder speaks with Cindy Tye about the powerful transition from player to coach and how sport shapes identity, leadership, and mental resilience. This conversation explores women’s soccer, athlete transition, coaching philosophy, psychological safety, mental health in sport, and why great coaching is about building people, not just performance.

We unpack the challenges athletes face when the game changes, the loss and rebuilding of identity, and how lived experience on the pitch informs purpose-driven leadership, athlete wellbeing, and high-performance culture. A must-listen for coaches, athletes, sport leaders, educators, and anyone navigating change in sport.
