Toni Minichiello - 'Coach What You See'

In this episode I delve into coaching the individual. Toni Minichiello worked with dame Jessica Ennis-Hill from her teenage years to continental, world and Olympic titles. You need to keep things fresh in coaching. Sometimes across just one season, it can prove to be hard to keep pressing the right buttons with an athlete to get the best performances out of them, so to chat to a world class practitioner like Toni who has been able to do that successfully for a very long time was brilliant. We talked about the partnership that exists between coach and athlete and how decisions are made and adjustments agreed upon and chat about the art of coaching and how sometimes saying less is more. Dealing with pressure, none as great as he had to make sure Jessica was at her absolute best at a home Olympics in 2012 and how the coach feels after such seismic moments. I met Toni pre lockdown at the indoor track at English institute of Sport in Sheffield, a city he grew up in and has been part of moulding his personal journey too and we opened up about discussing some of the nuances between team and individual sports.
