They discuss the development and research behind the 5Cs framework, which aims to make sports psychology more accessible and targeted at helping young people.
The 5Cs - Commitment, Communication, Concentration, Control, and Confidence – constitute an evidence-based framework and has been developed to help athletes, coaches, parents, and practitioners to thrive in sport and through the challenges that it offers. The 5Cs framework focuses on the social and psychological aspects of sport and how those factors may be affected in an athlete’s day-to-day life.
During the episode, the guests share the story behind the development process of the framework, as well as how they measured it and its effects. Next, they discuss how coaches and clubs have been implementing the 5Cs with efficiency, as well as the plans for the framework’s future.
