306 Goal Pressure in Sport: When Coaches and Athletes Think Differently

Описание: What happens when a goal-driven coach works with an athlete who feels overwhelmed by targets? Why do some athletes shut down when goals are mentioned? For many athletes, targets feel like pressure NOT motivation.
In this episode, David Charlton explains why goal setting motivates some athletes but creates pressure and anxiety for others. When expectations are imposed rather than shared, confidence drops and avoidance can follow.

Using Professor Sophia Jowett’s research and the 4Cs model of Mental Toughness, you’ll learn how process goals, shared ownership and intrinsic motivation help athletes feel more confident, in control and committed.

Build goals with the athlete, not for them.
