Ep. 147: The Cost of Inconsistency

May 11, 2025

As a coach, your standards set the tone for your team, but what happens when those standards shift from day to day? In this episode, we explore the impact of inconsistency in coaching: inconsistent call-outs, fluctuating expectations, and the confusion it creates for athletes trying to earn trust and clarity. We will dive into the “demo, drill, defend” strategy that reveals the secret to coaching with consistency and clarity.
