Thinking Rewired

🗣️ Coach Conversation Starter when tackling athletes playing below the line 👇🏼👇🏼

This is the type of conversation that won’t work if you’re telling people what to do or pointing the finger…. They will get defensive, justify behaviour and pretty much tune out. This is human nature.
Which is why really the only question you can ask is….. Where do you think you are right now?

This allows athletes to reflect and sit with the behaviour.
You may not get the answer/ behaviour change immediately, but it puts the ball in their court to be able to take ownership and make changes if they choose to.

Would you have this conversation?

🗣️ 3 Coach Conversation Starters to use with your team when it looks flat 📈 on court:

1. “What’s one thing we can do right now to lift our energy — as a team?”→ Encourages ownership and shared responsibility.

2. “Who’s going to be the spark 🔥 for us in this next play?”→ Inspires leadership and brings focus to effort, not just results.

3. “If another team was watching us right now — what would they see?”→ Builds self-awareness and challenges players to shift their presence.
