We’ve all heard it—“He just needs more reps.” But here’s the thing: reps by themselves don’t guarantee improvement. In this episode, I break down why repetition without intention can actually reinforce bad habits, and what players really need in order to grow.

I’ll talk about:

• ​Why more reps doesn’t always mean better reps
• ​The role of muscle memory (and how it works for or against you)
• ​How to train with intention and purpose
• ​What it looks like when players take ownership of their development
• ​Practical ways coaches and parents can create smarter reps in practice

Whether you’re middle schoolers or high-level athletes, this one’s all about getting the most out of your training time—and building players who truly understand what they’re working on.
