BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Betsy Butterick, “The Coaches’ Coach” and communication specialist, will return as a featured speaker to the 2022 NFHCA Annual Convention.
Butterick’s 2021 Virtual Coaches’ Caucus presentation, “Relating to Today’s Student-Athlete: Effectively Coaching Gen Z,” was one of the most well-reviewed sessions of the NFHCA event, prompting an invitation to speak at the Annual Convention. Butterick’s featured presentation, “Small Shifts, BIG Impact,” is scheduled for the second day of the 2022 NFHCA Annual Convention.
“Small Shifts, BIG Impact,” focuses on simple communications techniques applicable to a variety of coaching situations. This interactive session will teach coaches to make subtle changes that yield noticeable results by reframing a negative situation in a positive light, asking a difficult question in an empathetic way, or transforming an objection into an opportunity. The presentation will include areas of focus like: creating space for dialogue, how to ask better, more connective questions; Wordsmithing 101, how to say what you mean in a way that resonates; kids these days, quick hits on the nuances of Gen Z and how to more effectively coach today’s student-athlete; and problem parents, strategies for successfully engaging with challenging parents.
