Learning Lessons Every Day (Win or Fail) - LC Part 5

Published on: 5th June, 2023

I think we all can agree - it's MUCH easier to see what's going wrong than it is to notice what's going right. Honestly- that's our job as coaches!

But we also know how distracting and harmful it can be to performance when we're focusing only on the mistakes.

In today's episode, we talk about how we talk about LESSONS and use a daily routine to keep growing and moving forward - even through some ugly losses.

-----

Imagine if you could legitimately get your team to grow (even just a little bit) EVERY time they stepped on the field or grabbed their glove.

How much further could they go? How much closer to their potential could they get?

Then make it a part of the routine! Every win, every success, every FAIL is an opportunity to LEARN a lesson. Make it count!

-----

If you want to start talking about lessons learned with your team, START today! Ask them what lessons they've learned recently and see what they're seeing.

If you want to take it a step further, you can begin talking about lessons around their MENTAL game with the 7Cs.

Our assessment will give you the language to talk about the lessons they're learning while building a better mindset too.
