Kareem Kalil - Exploring Questions around Feedback

Coach Mike MacKay welcomes coach, researcher, and PhD candidate Kareem Kalil to explore the complex dynamics of coach-athlete communication. Drawing from his experiences as a player, teacher, school leader, and coach, Kareem shares the inspiration behind his doctoral research, which examines how coaches' intentions and athletes' interpretations can either align or diverge during key coaching interactions. Together, they discuss trust, empowerment, feedback, non-verbal communication, and the importance of understanding the athlete's perspective. This thought-provoking conversation challenges traditional views of coaching and offers valuable insights into creating more meaningful and effective coach-player relationships.
