How do you help players become natural learners?

How do you assess decision making? 👇

This is something talent ID could do so much better

[Philip O'Callaghan 🎾 @Mr_Tennis_Coach]

The best way to assess decision-making? Look beyond success or failure.

Understand the context, the constraints, and the reasoning behind the choice.

What happens when a coach gives a child ball-by-ball feedback in a net?

[Jac @jacricks]

@JeremyFrisch How can they become pros if they play?! 😂

Coaching 👌👇

[The Constraints-Led Fencing Coach @coachsabre]

When I reflect on my own coaching my starting point is often to think about how fencer athletes perform best under pressure. Can they achieve this by constantly referring back to the recipe book, or by understanding the essence and purpose of what they are trying to achieve?

[Jac @jacricks]

Remember a player’s inner voice has likely been shaped by how they were treated as a child..
Be gentle and curious in guiding them

[Jac @jacricks]

@Mr_Tennis_Coach What are you noticing?

[Jac @jacricks]

Brilliant from @BenDuckett1 💯
Love watching him bat 👏👏

[Jac @jacricks]

Failure amid success keeps you grounded and searching for improvement

Disappointed not to see Bethell in England’s team for Friday.
He looks a much better bet at 3 than Pope.
I’m guessing they considered Pope at 6 but it would mean one less bowler.
I’d try and get Bethell in now. More experience before the Ashes

[Jac @jacricks]

@sjamesjourno So sorry Steve.
Glad you have some answers now.

Coaches - how do you help your players assess their impact on matches?

@JoelCressman And remove fear of failure

[Jac @jacricks]

@Mr_Tennis_Coach Thanks for this. Great thread 👌

[Jac @jacricks]

Curious questioning 👇

[Jac @jacricks]

County 🏏 coaches identified 10 batting “basics”..

Three were technical, one tactical, one physical and five mental.

[Jac @jacricks]

@nigel_hallows Yes,ensure he’s not over coached.
Kids will experiment if given the chance. They might copy different players but it’s important they find what works for them rather than what looks pretty

[Jac @jacricks]

Thread 🧵

Play is the most natural and powerful way to learn..

It stimulates the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin.

Dopamine is a chemical messenger that transmits signals between neurons. It is associated with pleasure, reward (1)

[Jac @jacricks]

@nigel_hallows Of course.
I wish your boys the best.
I’m a genuine believer in play allowing kids to find what is natural to them.
Perfect technique doesn’t exist to me.
What is effective to the individual does.
And that can be found through play, imo

[Jac @jacricks]

@nigel_hallows Sounds like your boys love to play
