Novice Coaching vs Master Coaching

Julie Zhuo says it well:

“I like words a lot. But sometimes a few sketches communicate a point more simply and memorably.”

Enjoy.

Zhuo is nails it: “Ideas are cheap; execution and results are everything.”

Great teaching (aka coaching) is about being able to connect the dots; not just in your learning, but in the learning that takes place for your athletes. It’s about taking the complex and making it make sense to them in their mind’s eye.

Your knowing is not as important as their understanding.
