Thought I'd try something new to get this content accessible for coaches...turn up the volume...then get some work done while you are listening! We all have busy lives so Here's Part 1 of the Jet Sweep Survey. Thanks to all who contributed.

What do you say to the players who approach you and want to know what they can do to improve as a player? I've always kind of struggled with this situation because in my mind I automatically start thinking about the players weaknesses and how I can take this opportunity to tell them what they need to get better at. But I don't think that's the most productive way to handle this. Now if they need to know why they aren't playing or starting...then we can get into details and I have no issue sharing where they are at as a player. If you need some good thoughts on what you can say, listen to this podcast because there are some great ideas in here that I think you should be sharing with your players frequently anyway. So at that point if a player comes up and asks it's more of a "Do what we've been telling you to do!" Are you giving 100% in those areas yet? Listen in as I cover each of these points from an article by a mentor of mine Scotty Kessler. See more of his stuff here: https://scottykessler.com/
