Trainers can definitely help players on their journey but other things carry so much more weight than us!
A HS coach who teaches the right things.
A parent who rebounds for them.
A teacher who believes in them.
And most importantly, a kid who puts in the work on their own!
Do Trainers Take Too Much Credit??
The older I get, the more I understand that training is a piece of the puzzle for players or teams. Early on in my career I thought it was everything, and that a players success was my success.
A players success is their success, and all the different people in their lives are there to hopefully help guide them. When I realized that, I became a better trainer because I realized I was serving them and not my own ego.
