🎙️ Deep Dive Drive – Episode 56: What Are You Measuring as a Coach?
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 sits at the heart of development:
What are you actually measuring as a coach?
Is it wins? Goals? League positions?
Or is it effort, behaviour, decision-making, and growth?
Because what you choose to measure will ultimately shape what you focus on — and what your players value.
In this episode, I explore:
- The difference between outcome-based and development-based metrics
- Why players chase what gets recognised
- How measuring the right things builds better habits
- The importance of tracking progress beyond the scoreboard
- How clarity in measurement creates consistency in standards
This episode isn’t about ignoring results.
It’s about understanding that results are often the by-product of the right behaviours.
If you measure effort, you’ll get more effort.
If you measure learning, you’ll get more learning.
If you only measure results, you might miss everything else that matters.
If you’re a coach, teacher, or leader, this episode will challenge you to reflect on what you’re reinforcing every day — intentionally or not.
Measure what matters. Develop what lasts.
One drive at a time.
