Kiira Korpi – Positive and abusive coaching
In this Skate Ukraine Academy episode we're talking about positive and abusive coaching with an olympic figure skater, 5-time national champion of Finland, 3-time European medalist, inspirational coach and positive psychology practitioner, Kiira Korpi (@kiira_korpi).
Joining us from New York, where she study positive psychology, we talk about reasons behind why abusive coaching culture is so established, how it affects skaters and coaches. We look at the modern science-based approaches to coaching, explore what positive coaching is and some myths around it, and look into successful examples of this new way of coaching in figure skating and other sports.
