The Strict Coach

Holds yourself to high standards

You set high standards and push yourself to do better — and that has probably helped you achieve a lot. But every good coach knows players need rest and encouragement. It's time to offer yourself gentler words too.

Key traits

  • You expect a lot from yourself
  • You replay mistakes
  • Accepting praise feels awkward

Your strengths

  • You're responsible and driven to grow.
  • You work steadily toward your goals.

Things to keep in mind

  • Recognise your effort, not just the outcome.
  • If your self-talk feels harsh, rephrase it as you would for a friend.

A small step for today

  • · End each day by writing down one thing you did well.
  • · When praised, try simply saying “thank you.”
