Talk to any coach around the world, in any sport…
They’ve seen it, they’ve dealt with it, and they’ve most certainly wondered how to fix it. The uncoachable player – whether they are 10 or 22 – is a doozey. And even though every coach has pondered heavily on how they can help “THAT KID,” the truth of the matter is this:
Being coachable isn’t up to the coach – it’s up to YOU, the player.
Quite simply, being coachable means that you’ve accepted there’s something you haven’t learned yet. Our learning experience is never over. Even COACHES have to be coachable. No matter how talented we are, how far we’ve come, we ALL have room for growth.
Being coachable DOES NOT equal weakness.
It’s being vulnerable enough to OWN that you aren’t perfect… and ALLOWING someone out there who is more of an expert to help guide you on your path. The Alabama softball coach, Pat Murphy, said it perfectly:
Coachable kids make employable adults.
What kind of athlete are you?
