Episode Fourteen - Turning Errors Into Growth
In Week 4 of Inside The Game, host Stuart Sharples explores how mistakes can be powerful learning moments when players and coaches embrace the mindset of Turning Errors into Growth. Our curriculum topic is Staying Connected, and our core value is Commitment.
We dive into how staying connected is about discipline and togetherness — shifting as a unit, closing spaces, and constantly communicating. He highlights a defensive line activity where players must work together to prevent gaps, showing how connection on the field relies on every individual’s commitment to the team. Professional examples like the USWNT backline and what this looks like at the highest level.
This week’s guest is Adam Corlett, who shares his insights on helping players recover from mistakes, stay engaged through challenges, and develop resilience that strengthens both performance and character.
