How it works
Develop coachability by reviewing a live repetition on the spot and self-identifying corrections before the coach provides them.

- cones
- goal
Your focus
Advanced coachability is self-directed. When players can identify their own errors, they become more receptive to external coaching and develop the internal awareness elite players possess.
Player runs a dodge-and-shoot combination.
After each rep, player walks back to coach and answers: 'What did I do well? What would I change?'
Coach then adds their observation. Player compares their self-assessment to the coach's.
Player immediately runs the next rep targeting the identified correction. Repeat 5 cycles.
Helpful cues
- Self-awareness is the first step to self-improvement
- Don't just say 'everything was good', pick something specific
- The best players are their own hardest critics and their own biggest motivators
