Stronger Relationships, Faster Adjustments - LaGrange 2023 Season Part 3

Published on: 20th February, 2023

If you're listening to this episode, you've likely listened to Alicia's past seasons and learned the same thing I have: strong relationships are the secret weapon. We've all had that moment where we realized we missed a KEY piece of information about a player that would have changed the course of their game, season or even career. And most of the time we miss that information because we're stuck in the weeds. And that's normal! We have a LOT to do as coaches. If we want to be our best for our teams, at least. But there is a way to do both, that I'm starting to sort out thanks to mentors like Alicia. Ready to get some ideas for doing so? Let's do this!
