Women Winning Wednesdays – with Carlette Patterson and Kathleen J. DeBoer
Join us this episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from Kirsten Bernthal Booth, Creighton University Head Women’s Volleyball Coach.
WINNING STRATEGIES
-
Sport forces people together as a team with inevitable conflict. How do you get players to buy into your program and its culture and make it all worth it? Coaching is a very difficult task with all of the different components that goes into how to do it successfully. You may not have the best athletes in your gym or the most resources in your department, but cultivating joy into your own attitude and leading by example will remind athletes how much fun it can be to play the sport you teach them.
-
New coaches often copy the people that they have been coached by within their careers as athletes. Though this may work for some, it’s important to be aware of how you are feeling when coaching and the interactions that you have with players and staff so you can adapt along the way. Emotional intelligence is critical to develop into an authentic coaching role and find what works for you and the program you want to achieve. Is doing what you are doing getting you the results you want?
-
Communicating who you are as a coach and what your program is about is critical when recruiting. If you as an athlete do not truly want to be a part of this program for whatever reason, that is okay – there are plenty to choose from for what you really want. Do not join our team if you do not actually want to be here. Look for players that understand what your program is about and who truly want to be a part of it.

How Struggle Creates Success
WINNING STRATEGIES
-
Transformative approach to coaching: Put the woman ahead of the athlete. Make sure they are in a good place as a person first before focusing on their identity as an athlete. How we help athletes personally as well as professionally can be equally beneficial and create a championship culture.
-
There is no success without struggle. There is no growth without failure. Success starts at the end of your comfort zone. Teaching your athletes that there is no such thing as failure - everything is a learning opportunity - will help to cultivate a growth mindset. Embracing failure is necessary at this high level of play, especially for high female competitors who may lack self-compassion when they do not achieve what they want to.
-
Preparation breeds confidence. If you’re playing it safe, you’re probably not getting better. Focus on the process rather than being results oriented so your players will do the same. Master your mindset – how do you not just let things happen to you, but reframe them in a way that makes you better and stronger as a person and as an athlete?

Friday Win the Week- 10 talks with Kirsten Bernthal-Booth, Creighton University Head Women’s Volleyball Coach
WINNING STRATEGIES
-
Life is bigger than the sport you are playing. Have intelligence and consistency with your players so they know every day what they are going to get from you as a human being. Show that you care about your players to lay the foundation for your program and how you want to be better every day.
-
Confidence breeds winning. Fostering the level of expectation while playing at a highly competitive level comes with communication, adapting and adjusting, and never staying comfortable. Getting outside your comfort zone drives you to be better and advances your program, especially from a recruiting perspective.
-
Communicate about conflict before it arises. Remind your team that if you have a conflict with somebody, that you are not involving other people around you; go directly to the person in order to find a solution and resolve the conflict. Be clear in how you want to be communicated with as a player and as a coach, and give everyone in your organization the space to voice so.

WINNING STRATEGIES
-
There are 3 things Coaches today can think about- Learn your craft, Learn yourself, and Learn who your athletes are.
-
Setting up Women 4 Success- find a support network of other trustworthy women/ people. Someone maybe outside of the sport, someone close who can tell you when you’re out of line, or someone who can talk shop with you.
-
Learn How 2 Grow- “feel the fear and do it anyway”. Lean into the discomfort, it’s what coaches ask athletes to do daily! Modeling this is huge, it’s how we get better and if coaches won’t do it, it’s unrealistic athletes will do it.

Women Winning Wednesdays – with Carlette Patterson and Kathleen J. DeBoer
Join us this episode as Carlette and Kathy discuss How Women Win after hearing from the winningest women’s basketball coach in Arizona State history, Charli Turner Thorne.
WINNING STRATEGIES
-
How are we going to reinforce mistakes in an authentic way? Being intentional with your staff and even watching your own film as coaches will help you to recognize when your coaching is effective vs. when it is surface level. Athletes are aware of the difference, and being able to differentiate between these two perspectives is a matter of getting better or staying stagnant.
-
Mindset Mastery. Honor being vulnerable and being in relationship with your teammates and coaches. Having your words and actions aligned as a coach is essential to help athletes enter into the growth mindset and be able to conquer failure in a healthy manner, rather than allowing external pressures to override any mental practice that has been done before competition.
-
How do we coach our female players up without separating from the relationship with them? Women athletes generally expect more vulnerability and realness out of a relationship with their coach; we are in this struggle together. Ask your athletes if this is the best that you can give to this group of people. Are you owning your role and doing your part as a teammate? Being truthful is necessary for being connected and having a sense of purpose within an organization.
