While most of us spend hours analyzing players, few stop to evaluate themselves. Nick explores the importance of self-awareness in coaching—understanding not just what you say, but how you say it. From tone of voice to the balance of correction and praise, he shares practical ways coaches can reflect on their habits, improve delivery, and better connect with their teams.   Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is the ability to notice your own habits, tone, and reactions. Players don’t just hear your words—they feel your delivery. How your response matched the situation. Correction, delivered positively, can build confidence rather than break it. Admonish in private, praise in public—it builds trust and morale. Frustration on the sideline may signal a delivery problem, not a knowledge problem. Even experienced coaches must continually work on self-awareness—it’s an ongoing journey.   If you want to get in touch, find me here: Email: coachrockell@hotmail.com Instagram: @coachrockell X: @coachrockell   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone Hosted on Acast.
