Coaching for Elite Athletes and Sports Professionals

At Elevation we understand the issues facing elite athletes and their families. Performing at an elite level can take a personal toll on athletes. They have increased pressure to cope with increased stress and often personal and relationship issues to deal with. Performance pressure can really build when athletes know they carry the weight of many people behind them who have sacrificed and supported them to achieve their goals. Performance pressure like this can often work against the mmindset of the athlete at crucial moments. On top of this, long hours of training and travel for competitions can seriously disrupt personal relationships. These factors can also lead to poor performance, poor motivation and dissapointing results for their training efforts.

Athletes who have poor coping skills to deal with these additional pressures, stress or personal issues can suffer from;

• Feelings of frustration
• Difficulty assimilating with family after high stress training
• Negative, maladaptive social behaviours
• Poor decision making 
• Unclear motivation
• Lack of concentration
• Poor communication with team members
• Reckless behaviour due to apathy
• High levels of stress and anxiety
• Increased frequency of depression
• Unhappiness due to social isolation
