From this week's episode of "Beyond Coaching" with Darin Keizer.
Are you honest about why your team is winning or losing?
If you keep losing close games, maybe you need to train end-of-game situations. If you finish 8th every year and can’t compete with the top four, maybe the issue is recruiting.
Good coaching starts with accurately diagnosing the problem.

New episode: Mission, Evaluation, and Developing Coaches with Dr. @darinkeizer
How do we evaluate coaches in a way that actually helps them grow?
Darin and I talk about mission alignment, building trust, developing coaches, and shifting evaluation from simply identifying problems to cultivating growth.
A good conversation for coaches and athletic directors.
