Day 3 of the 12 Days of Player Development
Can player development actually help teams win games?
In this episode, Ed Jones II breaks down 8 clear and practical ways player development directly impacts on-field success. This is not theory. These are real systems, behaviors, and habits Ed implemented while working in college football at Houston, Kansas, and Baylor, including during a Big 12 Championship season.
You will learn how mindset, responsibility, leadership, mentorship, communication, effort, learning, and critical thinking all translate from off-the-field development into better execution, better decision-making, and better performance when it matters most.
This episode is especially valuable for:
Coaches who want an edge beyond scheme and strategy
Administrators evaluating the role of player development
Player development professionals looking for language that resonates with coaches
Anyone who believes winning starts with people
Player development is not extra.
It is an advantage.
Listen in, take notes, and share this episode with someone who still thinks off-the-field work does not impact on-field results.
As always, create generational impact and win on and off the field.
