Great mix of coaching thought process & tactics

Really enjoy how he explains why he’s doing what he’s doing & where the thought process starts to get his team or players from a to b growth. Also enjoy the tidbits from his weekend games of what he recognizes good or bad team or opponents wise. Stuff we all experience but can’t always find time to talk thru w our peers.

Very helpful for this novice coach

Just discovered this podcast and am loving it. The content is thoughtful, insightful, and grounded in real-world coaching experience. The focus is totally on player development, not on winning. As a novice coach in a suburban kids’ league, I have found this podcast extremely helpful. Can’t wait for our next season to start so I can begin applying what I’m learning here!

Slow and meandering

Coach talks to slow. Meandering thoughts. Repeats himself a lot. Gabe it a shot for two episodes. Can’t do it sorry.
