Are you really listening to your athletes?

I never thought I was a bad listener. I just had no idea what real listening actually was.For 30 years, I was at Stage 1 without knowing it. Unconsciously incompetent. You don't know what you don't know.In this episode, I walk through the Co-Active framework that changed how I show up with athletes. Four stages of learning. Three levels of listening. And what it actually looks like on the ground with youth, college, and professional athletes.We get into:Why most coaches are stuck at Level 1 without knowing itWhat Level 2 listening looks like in a real conversation with an athleteHow Level 3 changes everything -- what isn't being said matters as much as what isWhy the kid on the bench is carrying something, and what to do about itWhat elite and professional athletes actually need from a coachThe athletes in front of you already have the answers. Your job is to listen at a level that lets them come forward.
