In this episode of the Prodigy Maker Show, Chris discusses the common struggles of players in learning world-class techniques and how to fix them.
He emphasizes the importance of trust-building between coach and player during the technical development process, and the need for coaches to have a strong background in modern technique and biomechanics.
Chris also touches upon the role of player talent, parental interference, and the transition period from dead ball feeding to live ball. Through his expert perspective, he provides insights into the technical skill-building process and the common pitfalls players and coaches face.
KEYNOTES:
- Is the coach doing a good job connecting and building trust during the technical development process? Great coaches inspire—not just wire.
- Does the coach have a strong background in modern techniques and biomechanics? Many coaches are teaching techniques from 30 years ago!
- Is the player motorically gifted or not? The talent level for learning a motor skill will affect the technique-building process.
- Does the player implicitly trust the coach?
- Are parents or other coaches interfering in some way to confuse the player?
