Head Coaches Guide to Player Development

Jan 8

Welcome to 2023!

I am so excited to begin SEASON THREE of The Player Development Pod. Typing those words just now is truly amazing and I can’t thank you enough for the support you've given me the past year. (Season One and Two)

This year we are starting it off with the “Head Coaches Guide to Player Development” series. I am excited about this series as I am catering the first five episodes of the year to head coaches. Player development’s impact can only go as far as the support of the head coach. With this reality, I wanted to make sure head coaches had a better understanding of player development. I’ve said multiple times on my show how player development can help a program, now we will dive deeper into the topic. The part I am most excited about are the episodes covering three different scenarios head coaches may see in their role in regards to creating, hiring and having someone in place in regards to player development. This series is for ANYONE who wants to dive deeper into player development. It’s truly a series about program development.

Below are the episodes in the series and what we will cover:

Part One - What is Player Development?

Part Two - Player Development Impact on the Program

Part Three - Scenario One: Creating a Player Development Program

Part Four - Scenario Two: Hiring Player Development

Part Five - Scenario Three: Player Development In Place

I will also be releasing a Head Coaches Guide to Player Development ebook during the series. You will get more details on how to purchase this resource in the episodes.
