Episode 174: Prepare Them. Build Their Confidence. Then Let Them Play. | Coach Jeremy Adolphson
For much of his coaching career, Jeremy Adolphson thought the answer was more conditioning: make athletes tired, make practice uncomfortable, and trust that the experience would toughen them up.

Today, he believes athletes perform best when they have practiced the skills they need, understand their roles, and know how to respond when things go wrong. In Episode 174 of The Mental Mettle Podcast, I sit down with Jeremy to talk about that shift—and what it means for the way we coach.
