The 5-Minute Football Coach - Ep.97 - Volume

Episode Summary

In this episode we explore the volume of coaching and the question every coach should probably ask themselves: when has my coaching stopped helping?

There is a sweet spot between giving players the information and guidance they need and stepping back enough to let them apply it. That point isn't necessarily the same for every player, which makes understanding your players just as important as understanding the football.

Sometimes, the best coaching might be knowing when to stop coaching.

Key Takeaways
