Скачать или смотреть Eric Brand: 40 Years of Coaching Wisdom | Ep 7

In episode seven, Liz sits down with Eric “Doc” Brand—her middle school teacher from the 1990s—who has spent 37 years in public education and about 40 years coaching athletes across sports. Eric shares how his coaching has evolved into a more intentional, player-centered approach: starting practice with quotes and intentions, experimenting with a constraint-led approach, and asking athletes to name what they’re seeing instead of just being told. They also get into the real-world stuff that makes or breaks teams—parents “putting holes in the boat,” the dreaded car ride home, keeping sport fun (yes, ice cream after a tough loss), why so much “coach education” turns into risk management, and a fascinating look at how USA Soccer’s licensing system evaluates coaches.
