Coaching the average MS/HS athlete how to properly squat 10 years ago was a lot easier than it is today.
I will also throw skipping, hopping, push ups etc.. into the mix.
Its wild how many MS/HS kids have Coordination, mobility restrictions.
We live in an era with skill development being shoved into kids faces 24/7 all while BASIC Physical literacy baselines are not being met.
Then we ask ourselves why injury rates are going up.
Self-judgment makes athletes feel powerless and lose confidence. But the right self-awareness will improve self-discipline.
If you coach athletes you must understand this law of human nature and recognize the difference.
When self-awareness turns into self-judgment it never becomes self-discipline.

90% of people misuse E+R=O and don't even realize it.
The ability to create a great outcome happens from the strength and the quality of your response, not from your circumstances. But you already know that.
What you probably don't realize:
So many of our mistakes happen not because of a lack of a skill, but because our mindset has slipped into trying to do something that's impossible.
We try to control things that we can't control. And we do not have strong enough control over the things that we do control:
1. Our thoughts
2. Our decisions
3. Our actions
You can't control the outcomes you get, but you can control the outcomes you target.
The true power of E+R=O is not being responsive to what life delivers to your doorstep.
The true power of E+R=O is using it to take yourself where you need to go.
• The mountain tops you need to climb
• The gaps you need to clear
• The person you're trying to become
• The program and team you're trying to build
It's less reactive to adversity or responsive to what life delivers. It's being an active creator with E+R=O.
What outcomes do I want with my team?
And if those are the outcomes that I want, what responses of me as a leader are required to go build that kind of team?
