Ashley Goodman - 3 Takeaways

Player DevelopmentPlayer Development PodPodcast

Nov 10

Creating and producing the Player Development Pod has been a great joy for me. I spoke in detail about this in a blog post. (https://www.btfprogram.com/blog/10k-plays-what-ive-learned-about-podcasting)

Season One’s purpose was to provide education and insight into the player development profession. Season Two’s purpose was to highlight those who do the work in the player development space. There are many different titles these guests hold, but the common denominator is they all help enhance the lives of athletes.

I have enjoyed getting to hear the work these incredible professionals provide for those under their influence. One thing I’ve done personally for my growth is take away three things from our conversations. I’ve shared these takeaways on social media but wanted to expand the reach of these gems by bringing them to the blog space.

This #3Takeaways blog highlights Ashley Goodman. Here is a link to our conversation: https://youtu.be/LG0hKiEAmi8

Enjoy the below takeaways.

1. Flexibility

Ashley discussed the biggest lesson she’s learned in the role is to be flexible. As discussed in this episode and many others, the responsibilities of the role will and can change daily. Flexibility also helps when understanding a Head Coach and what their mission is for the role.

2. Coaching is Coaching is Coaching

Ashley discussed how she continues to use the skills she learned from coaching for her transition into player development. Although it may not be strategic adjustments to win a game, in this role you are coaching players to make strategic choices in their life.

3. NFL and CFB Development

Ashley discussed the similarities and differences from her time at the NFL and college level. She discussed the mandatory programming that the NFL provides and mentioned it would be good for college football. I completely agree.

Player Development Advice: “Don’t be afraid to fail. Take the risk.”
