Coaches: players don’t (necessarily) improve from an intensity of training (although this is relevant)
Players improve through awareness.
Awareness = attention and insight
-attention: pay attention to their game in the moment
-insight: they aim to detect new cues and clues
Coaches - help players break down their game day objectives to one’s that are:
-specific (as granular as possible)
-controllable (as much a choice as possible)
-positive (focused on what they want)
Three objectives related to actions and tasks, strengths or areas to improve
Potential paradoxes of sport:
-give up control of performance, to gain control of performance
-to stop thinking negatively, avoid trying not to think negatively
-dare to fail to give yourself a better chance to succeed
-practice less to improve more
-slow down to speed up
Coaches may tend to be tough on performance while being tolerant on mindset. Reverse it! Be tough on mindset, tolerant on performance
By doing so you give your players a better chance to actually have that great performance. You free them up. You help them play on the front foot
