Pan Am Coach Interviews: Karate

Karate Coach Nassim Varasteh is a former repeat World Championship medalist. As a successful club owner and instructor, she works alongside Karate Canada’s National Teams at key international events. The Coaches Association of Ontario caught up with Nassime at the One-Year Kickoff to the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games event in July.

CAO: How are you preparing your athletes for the home field advantage at the TO2015 Pan Am Games?

Nassime Varasteh: I think sport psych is going to be a huge component for us, just because that home crowd advantage is going to give us just enough pressure to do our best, but at the same time we want to make sure that amount of pressure doesn’t make us fall apart either. I think we’re going to have a huge home crowd advantage but we’re going to manage the stress and the emotions in our preparation.

CAO: How do you become the best coach you can be?

NV: Keep learning. You’ve got to stay current, stay involved with the athletes, and work really closely with the athletes. Just stay as current as you can.

CAO: What is one piece of advice you would give another coach on coaching?

NV: Keep learning. You have to work really closely with the athletes and just stay on top of everything as a coach. Whether it’s how we’re training with the athletes, sports science, and just every aspect of coaching. We always have to stay on top of everything.

CAO: What do you love about coaching? 

NV: I love being on the field, I love working with the athletes, I love the pressure, and I love to perform. I used to be a former athlete, and now I get to do it through the athletes. So for me it’s a great experience.

Don’t miss the Canadian Pan Am Karate team this summer at the 2015 Pan Am Games!

Pan Am Coach Interviews: Rowing

Coach Development and the upcoming Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.

Alan learned to row and began his coaching career in Hamilton, and is now Head Coach for the Don Rowing Club of Mississauga.  Alan spent two years as a High Performance Coach and led athlete development within the province of New Brunswick, where he pushed forward the re-introduction of rowing at the University of NB and St. Thomas University.  Alan has consistently produced successful athletes and contributed his expertise to the Canadian National Team.

Alan has also been involved with the Row to Podium initiative to identify and develop new rowing talent into future Olympic champions.  A level three coach and licensed umpire, Alan is pursuing further development through the National Coaching Institute’s Advanced Coaching Diploma. The Coaches Association of Ontario met up with Alan at the One-Year Countdown to the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games event in July.

CAO: How are you prepping for home field advantage?

Alan Oldham: Whether you’re competing away or at home you want to be in ideal performance state regardless of what’s going on around you and as far as being at home it means there’s going to be a lot more cheering from the fans and that will affect the outcome on the water or field or whatever sport arena. So it’s really important to take that into account when we’re preparing athletes so they’re aware there’s going to be this extra energy. I think even a lead-up to a big event like this it’s pretty powerful that there is an excitement and athletes don’t want to let down the whole crowd so you need to manage that from a sports psych side and daily training perspective. Everyday preparing for that. Setting up situations where the athletes are visualizing that and training with the attitude that we’re going to go out and do our best and use those cheers to spur on even more performance.

CAO: How do you become the best coach you can be?

AO: I’d say that just coach, I’d always take the attitude that you’d want to coach as much as you can, coach anyone, every level you can learn quite often more from coaching people at the beginning levels and then take that to coach someone on their way to the Olympic podium. So taking every opportunity to coach and learning from other coaches. Sitting back and taking opportunity to see what’s been done and what people are doing around you, what the top coaches in the country are doing, and trying to see how that could fit into what you’re doing, and not feeling that you need to reinvent everything, because there’s a lot that’s been done and a lot of good stuff that you can utilize if you just take a look around.

CAO: What is one piece of advice you would give another coach on coaching?

AO: Well as I said, learn from other coaches. I think that the biggest piece of advice is take some time to be balanced yourself. You’re only going to be a good coach as long as you’re not burnt out. Take a few moments, a day off a week, or whatever, a few hours a couple of days to sit down and do something that’s not related to your sport. Because quite often that’s when the biggest insights related to your athletes or developing your own career come into focus and you can come back with renewed energy and take on what might have seemed a little daunting or a little overwhelming before.

CAO: What do you love about coaching? 

AO: Helping the athlete on their journey. That’s what I really love about coaching because as an athlete I was really benefited by coaches that saw something in me and helped me along my journey and I want to do that as a coach myself.
