Meg Wilson
Founder, SPKN — Sport Professional Knowledge Network
SPKN founder Meg Wilson joins Cole Kravetz to explore athlete-centered coaching, leadership, development, and the powerful role coaches play in shaping who athletes become both in competition and beyond it.
Meg Wilson is the founder of SPKN — the Sport Professional Knowledge Network.
SPKN works in areas including coach development, athlete development, sport leadership, athlete-centered coaching, sport research, ethics, and the broader human side of athletics.
Wilson's work emphasizes that coaches do much more than improve athletic performance. Coaches can shape confidence, resilience, belonging, character, leadership, and athletes' long-term relationships with sports.
Coaching, athlete development, leadership, and how adults within sports shape young athletes.
What effective coaching actually means, the coach-athlete relationship, creating environments where athletes develop as both competitors and people, and why a coach's impact can last far beyond a playing career.
