Four Lenses and Athletics

In the realm of athletics, coaches who integrate the Four Lenses into their coaching style can significantly enhance their interaction with athletes, catering to their varied temperamental needs. This tailored approach is crucial for maximizing performance and achieving competitive results. A study by Weinberg and Gould (2015) underscores the importance of emotional intelligence in coaching, noting that coaches who understand and address the emotional and psychological needs of their athletes can foster a higher level of motivation and performance. By using the Four Lenses model, coaches can develop strategies that resonate with athletes of different temperaments, enhancing training effectiveness and athlete engagement on and off the field (Weinberg, R., & Gould, D., 2015).
