Deep dives
Transitioning from a directive coach to a facilitator
The podcast discusses the transition from being a coach who dictates and controls practices to becoming a facilitator who creates an environment where players can learn and self-correct. The guest coach, Alan Keene, shares his personal journey and highlights the importance of empowering players to make decisions and problem solve on their own. He emphasizes the value of players recognizing and correcting mistakes in real-time, under pressure, rather than relying on the coach's instructions from the sideline. The transition requires patience, confidence, and finding the right balance between stepping in and stepping back as a coach.
Using success criteria and player timeouts in practice
The episode explores the use of success criteria in practice planning and facilitation. The guest coach, Alan Keene, explains how success criteria are set for different phases of practice and how players are involved in defining the success criteria. Clear and specific success criteria allow players to understand what is expected of them and guide their actions during practice. Additionally, the episode discusses the use of player timeouts as opportunities for players to self-correct and make adjustments during practice. This approach helps players develop problem-solving skills and encourages effective communication among teammates.
The importance of patience and player support
The podcast emphasizes the significance of a coach's patience and support in facilitating player development. The guest coach, Alan Keene, acknowledges that players may not get things right immediately and highlights the importance of giving them time to repeat actions and learn from their mistakes without immediate intervention from the coach. This approach allows players to perform under pressure and develop the skills needed for competition. Furthermore, the episode discusses the role of player support in facilitating learning and growth. Enabling players to reset, communicate in real-time during play, and collectively problem-solve contributes to creating an environment where players can thrive and improve.
