Listen, Learn, and Apply

Your ability (and willingness) to listen, learn, and apply what you coach teaches you is one of the biggest indicators of your future success.

The best athletes have talent, but they are also talented learners. 

They want to know more. 

They want to be better. 

They want to learn. They want to grow.

Be a sponge. When your coach is talking and teaching, try to soak up all of the knowledge that you can. The more you know, the more tools in your tool box. 

Pay attention to all of the little details. Each detail that you master can make you that much better, stronger, faster, and quicker.
