The next era of player development will be shaped by the brain—how it actually works and how we communicate with it.
This episode dives into shifting from more drills to smarter inputs the brain can use under pressure.
We unpack the move from:
· conscious analytics to subconscious recognition,
· from coach‑dependent instruction to neuron priming,
· from outdated reps to brain‑based techniques that transfer on game day.
We make the big ideas simple and actionable: Explicit vs. implicit training and when to use each.
Accuracy vs. precision and how it changes practice design.
How to coach arousal and attention so athletes perform without overthinking.
The “brain budget”—what drains it, what restores it, and how to plan around it.
Technical and tactical coaching is strong. Physical prep is better than ever. Mental skills are improving.
The next edge is learning the brain’s language so decisions, confidence, and performance hold when it counts.
I’m joined by Krush Favorite: Tim Nicely—researcher, inventor, and founder of V‑Flex Sports—to map how brain‑based training upgrades athlete and player development for coaches, athletes, and parents.
This is the paradigm shift behind Creating more Coachable Players.
There’s a change coming. The question is where you’ll be when it arrives.
