With Scotty back on the couch, this episode opens with reflections on time away, Easter, and the kind of support, presence and consistency that good people bring into your life. From there, the conversation shifts into coaching standards, the warning signs athletes shouldn’t ignore, and why so many people still stay too long in coaching setups that are giving them very little back. The boys unpack what basic coaching care should actually look like, why duty of care matters so much, and how good coaching goes far beyond just handing out a plan.

We cover:
✅ The biggest coaching red flags athletes should never ignore
✅ What a minimum coaching standard should actually look like
✅ Why poor communication, vague feedback and lack of care can do real long-term damage
✅ The responsibility coaches have when it comes to athlete health, education and decision-making
✅ Whether bad coaching comes from laziness, poor mentorship, lack of growth, or all three
✅ How Scotty’s coaching has evolved over time through reflection, maturity and learning from mistakes
✅ The value of mentorship, postgraduate study and being around great practitioners
✅ Why MT’s early systems, structure and planning helped shape his coaching from the start
✅ How coaching has changed over the last 10 years and why better access to information still means more noise to filter through
✅ Why coaches and athletes both need to get better at deciphering good advice from bad advice

🎧 A deep dive into coaching standards, mentorship, and how to tell good guidance from bad.
