🎙️ Deep Dive Drive – Episode 48: Are You Coaching Sessions or Just Running Sessions?
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 ask a question that every coach should reflect on:
Are you coaching sessions… or are you just running sessions?
It’s easy to set up drills, organise activities, and keep players moving. But real coaching goes far beyond managing a session plan. It’s about observation, feedback, connection, and helping players understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.
In this episode, I explore:
- The difference between activity and intentional coaching
- Why simply keeping players busy isn’t the same as developing them
- The importance of observation and intervention
- How questioning, feedback, and guidance create learning moments
- Why the best coaches adapt sessions based on what they see
Because running a session fills time.
Coaching a session creates development.
If you’re serious about helping players improve, this episode is a reminder to reflect on how much influence you’re really having inside your sessions.
Don’t just organise the session.
Coach the moment.
One drive at a time.
