John Kessel of USA Volleyball discusses how to be a better coach by letting kids make mistakes and not punishing them for the mistakes. Mistakes are an important part of learning and independence. We also discuss how training ugly and making mistakes in practice is a great idea. John mentions that coaches often control practice so much that athletes really are good at practice but that translating what is learned in practice to competition is sometimes not very good. We discuss how to keep kids in sports and how some kids develop late. Rather than "cutting" kids, find another avenue for them to practice. We also discuss how small-sided games can be used to improve skills. We go off on tangents about motor learning, John Wooden and guitar playing YouTube stars.
