Start with what is actually happening.
The player and coach name the current pattern: where confidence breaks down, what gets rushed, or which skill is not transferring into play.
The path is the product. A player starts with an honest baseline, earns one clear focus, reports what happened, and receives a coach adjustment that makes the next rep more useful.
The player and coach name the current pattern: where confidence breaks down, what gets rushed, or which skill is not transferring into play.
The coach translates the baseline into a narrow weekly focus. The player should be able to say what matters now in one sentence.
The assignment is short enough to complete and specific enough to observe. Completion matters, but the useful product is the context around the rep.
The player sends a concise reflection, optional evidence, or a question. This keeps the coach from having to guess what happened between sessions.
The coach reviews the work in context, responds with a precise adjustment, and decides whether to repeat, progress, or change the focus.
Progression is not just a completed checklist. It is the moment the pattern is stable enough to justify a harder decision, faster rep, or new focus.
Player: what do I do next? Coach: who needs my attention? Family: how do I support the week?
