This applies not just as a coach but for anyone that has the responsibility of leading people. Understanding the individual and tailoring what is needed for that person, is the key to effective leadership and successful teams.

Is the player giving effort? Is he focused? Is he making controllable mental errors? Is he doing the right things but simply not succeeding yet? Is he already extremely hard on himself? Is he not a self-starter and therefore needs to be pushed? Different current states… Different right next steps. 👀

They all have a “switch.” Ya just have to find what kicks that switch into gear. A calm correction with a vote of confidence? A challenge? A “kick in the ass?” Find it and use it.

How does HE respond to getting chewed out? I remember plenty of interviews where he was not kind to reporters who pointed out problems…

I love this and think every coach needs to hear this. Sometimes after making a mistake, a butt chewing is needed, but quite often it is the other way around. Know your players and know the situation. Nothing and nobody are one size fits all solutions.

This is what great coaching should be: accountability without making every mistake feel like a character flaw. Correct the play, keep developing the person. I love your posts, Josh.
