Our first virtual Coaches Panel, The Focused Coach: Mastering Emotions to Win, brought together Olympic champions and world-class coaches to explore the power of emotional intelligence in sports. Featuring insights from Olympic gold medalist Natasha Hastings and University of Miami Head Coach Amy Deem, the discussion highlighted how EI unlocks potential, builds mental toughness, and transforms coaching. Panelists shared proven strategies, real-life success stories, and actionable techniques to enhance athlete performance. As Coach Deem put it, "You coach the athlete, not the event." This event reinforced that great coaching starts with empathy, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the athlete.
