A quick tip for coaches:
"What am I doing? How am I doing it? Why am I doing it this way?"
Every activity in every session is an experiment that requires observation, reflection, and possible adjustment...
Awareness and flexibility help you work your way towards mastery!
Always mentioning self-talk to players Dan. Your prompts on this a few years ago in the Soccer Tough/Soccer Brain books are now a major pillar of my own coaching philosophy. Including for my own self! Thanks for all your input.
Was talking to some players in a session last night about setting personal standards “leading by example” and here’s an insight into why the best are the best. 😉👏🏻⚽️
Players who aren't easy to coach aren't 'uncoachable'. They possibly just need to be coached in a different way. Ask them: "What can I do to help you progress your game?" Take their viewpoint seriously. Enjoy negotiating with them. Co-create solutions. Stretch where you can...
