The quality of your communication is reflected in the feedback you get from your players.

Earlier on I was often frustrated with the feedback that I got from players when I asked them questions in practice. I mistakenly blamed them for the “bad feedback” until I realized that maybe I had to take a look in the mirror & look at the quality of my own communication.

An example could be when I previously was giving feedback after a drill I would ask the players “So how do well do you think you guys did in the exercise?” & I would get answers like “Fine, okay, bad etc”

At first I couldn’t believe that no one of the players were more reflective & was able to come up with a better answer, but when I later on changed my own question directly pointed towards a specific cue & asked e.g. “So on a scale from 1-10 how well did you step into the ball on the approach shot in the last drill?” the answer was completely different & I could help/guide the exact same players on an entirely different level only based on the quality of my own communication.
