Elevate & Empower with Celeste Walton (Part 2)
About this episode
In this episode, Celeste Walton discusses coaching philosophies and the importance of empowering athletes both on and off the court.
In Part 2 of our conversation with United Programming Coordinator Celeste Walton, we're diving deeper into what it means to coach the athlete in front of you. Celeste and Korohen talk about the lessons that come with coaching athletes at every age, from learning patience and adaptability with younger players to keeping older athletes challenged, engaged, and connected to their role on a team. They also discuss navigating burnout, understanding that every role matters, and what it means to add value to your team whether you're on the court or supporting your teammates from the sideline. And finally, Celeste shares the coaching philosophy at the heart of how she wants to impact athletes: Elevate and Empower. Elevate who they are as people and players. Empower their confidence, their voices, and their ability to advocate for themselves. Because the impact of a great coach reaches far beyond the volleyball court.
