On Wednesday, Sept. 21, BIOS hosted its’ first Fall 2022 seminar at Wisconsin Athletics, featuring Dr. Peter Miller and the initial findings of the Wisconsin Coaching Project. It was a great conversation discussing the current context of youth sport and how top coaches foster relationships within and beyond their teams. See the seminar recording below.
Wisconsin Coaching Project: Initial Findings
Coaches can best lead by cultivating meaningful connections
- Sports coaches are among the most impactful leaders and educators in society. Nationally, 43 million youth participate in organized athletics. Thousands of college and professional athletes also compete each year. For good and for bad, coaches shape these multi-level sporting experiences. BIOS researchers are learning from hundreds of coaches in and beyond the Badger state. We launched the “Wisconsin Coaching Project,” a rigorous empirical study of how the best coaches go about their everyday work. Here, in BIOS Volume 1, we offer some initial findings. Our study aims to contribute to the improvement of coaching across sports and levels.
