What coaching skills and abilities make this leader stand out in their sporting successes? How can we measure the impact coaches have on their teams/players? What is it they do that makes them successful? How do we acquire skills in sport? How can you learn skills in Sports faster? What is the optimum age for acquiring skills in sports?
