This is Part 2.
You’ll definitely want to go back and catch Part 1 over on JP's show - the Coaching Culture Podcast, Episode 445, where we dig into whether a coach's incompetence can quietly kill culture and what the most underrated trait in coaching actually is.
Key Takeaways
Shot selection is culture. Ball movement is culture. How you start practice is culture. Everything you do on the court every day is culture. Stop separating them.
The coaches who level up fastest aren't grinding solo. They have someone watching them, telling them the truth, and showing them exactly what to fix.
Constraints aren't just for players. Put them on yourself. Coach one thing per whistle. Speak in seven-second sound bites. The by-product is better players and a sharper you.
Enforcing your standards will cost you something now. Not enforcing them will cost you everything later.
One Action Item
Pick one coaching skill to practice at your next session- stopping play less often, keeping feedback to one point, using shorter sound bites. Tell another coach in the gym what you're working on and ask them to watch you. Review your own behavior on the drive home.
