Hi, Coaches!
This is your space. Every month, we'll post a new skill, along with drills and strategies to help you incorporate it into your practices with minimal effort and maximum impact.
Confidence
Confidence is believing you have the right to go for it. It is not a mood, and it is not a personality some kids are handed and others are not. It is the belief that you, right now, can do this particular thing.
Composure
Composure is what lets a player feel all of that and still get to their next action, rather than chasing the game in a temper or disappearing for 10 minutes. Composure is not bottling it up. It's the reframe. Treat the mistake as information, not a disaster, and move to the next ball.
Coming in November…
Bounce
Bounce is getting back to your game fast: a mistake, a goal conceded, a bad half. It's the reset. Notice it, get steady, and go again on the next ball. A coach and a parent are right there for it, backing every comeback together. And the standard is coming back stronger than you went in, every time.
