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. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or just starting out, this episode challenges you to examine your habits and ask: Are your standards steady, or do they depend on the day?
Coaches often say you learn more from losing than winning, but what if that’s not the only way? In this episode, we flip the script and talk about how to build a culture where learning, reflection, and growth happen even in the midst of success. We’ll discuss how the best place to learn is through wins, so you’re not forced to grow only after a tough loss or rock-bottom moment. Great teams get better while they’re winning, and so can yours.
