8 Ways Player Development Can Impact Winning ON THE FIELD


Listen Later

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.
