How it works
Demonstrate coachability by immediately applying a coach's correction on the very next attempt.
What you need
- basketball
- hoop
Your focus
Receiving feedback and applying it right away is the fastest path to improvement. Players who treat every coach correction as a gift develop skills much faster than those who resist feedback. Practicing this mindset makes correction feel natural and empowering.
Player attempts a layup or jump shot. Coach provides one specific correction.
Player must repeat the exact correction out loud: 'Got it, I'll bring my elbow in.'
Player immediately attempts the same shot applying the correction.
If improved, coach acknowledges it. If not, coach gives same correction, player tries again. Do 10 rounds.
Helpful cues
- Echo the correction, it helps your brain lock it in
- One thought per rep, don't try to fix everything at once
- Thank the coach, feedback is a gift
