Teaching Losing

Nov 26, 2021

In this episode Adam is joined by Nathan Emrick from Carterville High School in Illinois. Adam and Nathan discuss an uncommon topic in team situations – losing. This conversation covers teaching players how to lose, responding to losing, and more. In a competitive environment, winning isn’t guaranteed, and we need to prepare our teams for the adversity that is inevitable every season. We hope this episode challenges your relationship to losing and how you communicate with your teams about this part of competition.
