Welcome to Episode 26 - What Does It Mean to Be Coachable? This week, hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer discuss the concept of coachability in hockey, emphasizing its complexity beyond simply following instructions. They explore the varying degrees of coachability among athletes and the importance of processing and understanding information rather than just executing it. Additionally, they acknowledge the challenges coaches face in getting players to execute drills correctly and the need for empathy in coaching. This episode highlights: - How attention deficits, exacerbated by excessive phone use, can negatively impact players' ability to memorize systems and execute plays. - The importance in paying attention during whiteboard sessions and how overtime, failing to do so can hinder hockey IQ development. - What does it mean to earn the right to be heard? The process of executing the coach's instructions effectively provides the potential to increase development. - Being open to different teaching styles and applying what works best is crucial for athletic development, emphasizing the importance of a strong mentality. - What does it even mean to be coachable?
