Below is a video clip from a seminar by a college coach. In it she talks about needing to train failure recovery, and the method she teaches. Here are the steps she outlines.
- Make eye contact with another player
- Take ownership
- Talk about the next play
- “Yes, and” from teammate
Notice how connection with a teammate is involved in this approach. I think that’s really important, as it keeps a player from closing in on themselves.
Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
