"Does this guy know what he needs to do to get better?" One of the simplest questions a coach can ask, but one of the most revealing. If a player and coach aren't aligned on what's being worked on, development slows down. Ask your players: "What are you working on right now?" If their answer doesn't match yours, there may be a communication gap that's holding back progress. Watch this full clinic at or in the My ABCA app!
