Developing the X-Factor with Tif Jones

On today’s episode, I sit down with Dr Tiffany Jones of X-Factor Performance and talk about the importance of improving connection with and the mental skills of your athletes.  

Whether you are coaching pro athletes or 9-year-olds, this one in a must-listen.  In this episode we will discuss

  • the impact technology has on today’s athletes
  • why we can’t just blame the parents
  • how the psychological development today’s athletes can be up to 6 years behind their physical development (18 year olds can really be more like 12 year olds!)
  • connecting with your athletes by understanding their DISC profile
  • the free resources you can use to make yourself a better coach
