Episode 032 | They Ain't Coachable | November 2022
In this episode of The MentalCast, host Dan Mickle challenges the common narrative that players today “aren’t coachable.” Maybe the issue is not the players — maybe it is how we, as coaches, are trying to reach them.
Dan explores the importance of truly knowing who your players are: beyond their positions or what they contribute on the field. Building meaningful relationships and adapting to generational shifts are key to effective coaching. Today’s athletes are not weaker or "less" in any way — they are unique to their time and situation. And it is on us as coaches to evolve with them.
Topics covered:
-
Rethinking what it means to be "coachable"
-
Why understanding your players matters more than ever
-
Building stronger coach-athlete relationships
-
How generational shifts impact coaching approaches
-
Moving away from outdated coaching narratives

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
