201: They Should Already Know That… Shouldn’t They?

In this episode of The Coaching Life Podcast, we talk about the little things coaches often assume players already know — but too often don’t take time to teach. These “should already know” moments can be the difference between a win and a mistake that costs you a game. Who is responsible when they make those mistakes? HINT: it is always us, coaches. In this episode, we discuss how to intentionally build these habits into practice, create awareness by letting them figure some things out on their own and develop a high IQ for the sport. Whether you coach baseball or any sport, this episode is a reminder that the fundamentals aren’t always as obvious as we think.
