This week's skill is a coaching skill about how to get your team to "play with heart". But what is "heart"? Tod and Davis discuss what it is, how to train it, and how to get your team to want to play in that way. In our scenario segment, we discuss the common refrain from coaches, "My team plays way better in practice than in the matches", and we think about it in terms of mental training techniques for how to make that situation better, and switch that idea to "I perform better in matches". We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is a unique resource from someone who has gone through recovery and rehab and continued to play at a very high level, Daniel Maciel and his Instagram page about strength and conditioning with a focus on longevity and safety.
