I know parents that rush their kids all over to try and get the next big coach to work with their son or daughter. I am here to tell you to be careful and start looking for real core components to getting a great coach.
1- Is it Replicable? Is what they have done a fluke? Was it a one time great student or can they produce champions over and over again? Look at the detail that they leverage and look to see that they have a construction mindset.
2-Is it Controllable? Is this something that has to do with effort, awareness and planning? If you watch the breakdowns, you’ll see how great coaches makes heroes of players who pay attention, who anticipate, who get to the right spot at the right time. If Coaches were a high-school English teachers teaching Huckleberry Finn, they would make heroes of the students who are first to spot the themes and connections in the text, because that’s about awareness and effort.
3- Is it Connective? Is it related to a successful outcome? Every big point is built on a scaffold of solid technique. So focus, like any good construction worker would be placed on the foundational things that made success possible. Each of those small moves (the perfectly executed block) is in fact vital, because without it all the good luck (the big winner) never happens. If coaches were a sales consultant, they would focus on the first ten seconds of the sales call — because without a warm emotional connection, the sale would never happen.
