Book Description
Everything we do, and sense, happens through our brain. In Coaching the Brain: Practical Applications of Neuroscience to Coaching, highly experienced coaches Joseph O’Connor and Andrea Lages ask and answer the question: ‘How can we use our knowledge of the brain to help ourselves and others to learn, change, and develop?’. This book will show you how to apply insights from the latest neuroscience research in a practical way, in the fields of personal development, coaching and cognitive therapy. Accessible and practical, it begins with an overview of how the brain works along with an explanation of how our brain changes due to our actions and thoughts, illuminating how these habits can be changed through neuroplasticity. Understanding the neuroscience of goals and mental models helps us to work with and change them, and clarity about emotions and the emotional basis of values can help achieve happiness. Most importantly, neuroscience illuminates how we learn, as well as the power of expectations. The book also explores the key lessons we can take from neuroscience for high performance and leadership. Eminently accessible, this book gives you new tools to help yourself and others create better futures. As a whole, the book will provide you with a new respect for the depth and complexity of your thinking and emotions. Coaching the Brain: Practical Applications of Neuroscience to Coaching, with its clarity and practical application, will be essential reading for coaches in practice and in training, as well as leaders, coach supervisors and HR and L&D professionals, and will be a key text for academics and students of coaching and coaching psychology.

Pages : 241

Book Description
Did you know there is an area of your brain known as the “Lizard Brain” that thinks only about the immediate moment and your means of survival? Yes, in certain circumstances, your “Rational Brain” can effectively “shut down” and you are at the mercy of a reptile ... dry-mouthed, sweating, queasy, unable to think clearly—even though you know better. When does the Lizard Brain run the show? It can happen in any number of unfamiliar, uncomfortable, challenging, or “stressful” riding situations. But here’s the thing: with the right kind of training, you can learn to manage the reptile within, which leads to greater confidence with horses, better riding performance, and ultimately, happiness at the barn, at shows, and everywhere in between. Andrea Monsarrat Waldo teaches you how to: handle uncomfortable emotions, such as fear, anger, anxiety, and embarrassment; hone your mental game and focus your riding time to get the most out of your hours in the saddle; care for your emotional injuries the same way you would care for an injured horse; and produce a state of “Focused Calm” and tap into the skills you have (whether you know it or not!) to ensure an outstanding ride.

Coaching Football with the adolescent brain in mind is a partnership between leading Educational neuroscientist Dr Perry Walters and TheFootballCoach. The book brings together a mixture of theoretical information with practical coaching sessions to help develop psychological skills. The book includes 8 theoretical chapters, from 'The emotional spark of adolescence', to the 'emerging social brain'. The book provides an insight into the changes within the adolescent brain and how these changes influence individuals within the football environment. This also allows for the book to detail the opportunities for coaches to develop psychological skills within the young person at different moments and times, as well as strategies and approaches to support players through these moments. Dr Perry Walters has also been renowned for his use of the 'Red and the Blue' approach to dealing with emotion in sport and helping players to recognise their emotional state and understanding how this might influence their performance and mindset. The approach has also been well used by coaches to recognise and understand the emotional state of players and help the players without the need of a psychologist for support. This concept has been a fantastic success with young players. The sessions included are also built to help players develop psychological skills within players. They look to create moments and behaviours from players. These include emotional control, resilience and other psychological factors. The theoretical information in the book will be important to understand, in order to best use the sessions to drive improvements in players ability to play with control and composure.
