🎙️ Deep Dive Drive – Episode 68: Are You Coaching What You See… or What You Believe?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Deep Dive Drive, recorded on my morning commute, I explore a question that challenges how we observe and make decisions as coaches:
Are you coaching what you see… or what you believe?
Every coach carries beliefs — about players, positions, ability, attitude, and potential. But when those beliefs take over, they can cloud what’s actually happening right in front of you.
In this episode, I talk about:
- The danger of bias in coaching decisions
- Why assumptions can limit player development
- The importance of objective observation
- How first impressions can shape (and sometimes mislead) your judgement
- Why great coaches constantly reassess what they see
This episode isn’t about ignoring experience.
It’s about making sure your experience doesn’t override reality.
Because when you coach what you believe, you might miss what’s actually there.
But when you coach what you truly see, you give every player a fair chance to develop.
If you’re a coach, teacher, or leader, this episode will challenge you to reflect on how you view your players — and whether you’re seeing clearly or coaching through a filter.
Observe first. Then decide.
One drive at a time.
