For this week’s episode host Sasha Graham sits down with Dr. Sara Erdner, the author of Dear Coach, for a lively, thoughtful, and enlightening conversation that will resonate with athletes, parents, and especially coaches.

Dr. Erdner is passionate about the importance of a healthy coach-athlete relationship, the impact of communication styles on athlete performance, the need for empathy in coaching and the role of autonomy in enhancing athlete resilience. They also discuss the mental health challenges faced by coaches and the importance of recognizing their contributions and supporting their needs as coaches and as humans.

You can follow Dr. Erder on Instagram @_dearcoach and you can download her book for free at https://www.dearcoachbook.com/. If you prefer a hardcopy, Dear Coach is available wherever books are sold.
