This article describes how general counseling principles and specific transactional analysis concepts—including ego states, games, rackets, and drivers—can enhance sports coaching. The author draws particularly on the work of Walker (1986) and illustrates applications of transactional analysis in sports coaching by discussing their use with a boys' field hockey team.
