Coaching Style

​

Peak Mentor Coaches lead primarily from a Holistic Coaching Perspective. We have created an ecosystem to develop youth spiritually, psychologically, socially, and physically.

​

Holistic Coaching - Embrace the whole person, recognizing that every athlete is a human first and a player second, and prioritizes growth accordingly.

​

• On the surface, this may seem poorly suited to achieving optimal athletic performance, but in coaching the person rather than the athlete, a coach can affect players’ entire lives for the better. Recognizing that each player may have commitments to school, family, work, and other pursuits, a coach who cares can have a far-reaching, positive influence on the lives of players.” Source: Maryville University Article “Coaching Styles”

​

Player/ Coach Interactions:

​

• Relationship building - Developing one on one relationships with every visionary athlete (players) is imperative. It's done through spending time with them on and off the court.

​

• Open Dialogue - Give players freedom to voice their thoughts and encourage player creativity. This also develops trust and value between players and coaches.

​

• Freedom to voice - players give input on game strategies and practice routines, though the coach makes the final decisions

​

• Encouragement of creativity - Because players know their opinions will be heard, it encourages them to find new or different solutions to problems.

​

Process of Development

​

Adversity -

​

• Growth through failure - Lessons to adapt for next time comes by growth in strategic failure. Also, if an athlete offers an idea that fails, it serves as an experience for both coach and players to grow together.

​

• Growth through consistency (Never Quitting) - Consistency begins with intention. It requires discipline, commitment, and self-awareness. By prioritizing consistency, we lay a solid foundation for our personal and professional growth. It enables us to develop healthy habits, nurture our well-being, and effectively navigate the challenges that life throws our way. (LinkedIn Article by Xavier Nazareth)

​

• Growth through Overcoming - Embrace challenges because the testing of your faith induces patiences and when patiences works through you it perfects the vision that’s inside of you. James 1:2-4 By employing strategies such as resilience, a positive mindset, adaptability, and self-compassion, individuals can not only overcome obstacles but also emerge from them stronger and wiser.
