Creating a Winning Team with Tim Gfeller Unspoken Bravery

How do you get the best out of very talented athletes?
Today, I’m talking to the head coach of the Norwegian women’s World Cup team, Tim Gfeller. Before that, he coached the Canadian women’s World Cup team for eight years, from 2006-2014. During that time, he coached me for six years and played a key role in my development as a professional skier.
Getting the best out of talented athletes in a team is a complicated task that takes time and a lot of planning. You must strike the perfect balance between fostering a competitive spirit in each individual and ensuring team members embrace teamwork. At the same time, you must create an environment that allows athletes to be authentic and true to their identity.
Tune in and listen to episode 10 of season 2 of Unspoken Bravery. Coach Tim and I discuss his coaching journey and his experience coaching me. We also discuss his six guiding principles and why they are important to a team’s success.
