225 How To Offer Footballers Process Driven Feedback In Training

It’s very easy as a football coach to offer short snippets of praise such as “great goal” or “good pass.”  However, is this actually helpful for the footballer?  In this episode of Demystifying Mental Toughness, the second of a 6 part series I argue that yes it is helpful, especially for those players who gain confidence from coach praise and compliments.  However, if you as a coach challenge yourself to offer players more in terms of process driven praise and feedback you can enhance their learning so much more and shift their focus on to more helpful things. Feel free to tune in, where I’ll encourage you to think about what helpful emotions and actions you are looking for your players to experience in different situations and how you can help them.
