Respect. Effort. Teamwork. What do those words actually look like at practice?

Emma Doyle, coach and author of What Makes a Great Coach, discusses how coaches turn team values into specific behaviors athletes can understand, practice, and take ownership of.

Coach EM also shares why athletes need a voice in shaping their team’s values and how coaches can guide that process through better questions and consistent reinforcement. She also explores how everyday coaching choices help athletes build the confidence to think and make decisions for themselves.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to involve athletes in reviewing team values and defining what they look like in practice and competition.

• How “next time” questions help athletes learn from mistakes and identify what to try next.

• How to design practice activities that give athletes opportunities to solve problems and make their own decisions.
