Every coach says they want their players to “play harder.” But what does that really mean — and can you actually teach it?
In this episode of Coach Unplugged, Hall-of-Fame coach Steve Collins dives into the art of developing aggression the right way — where players compete fiercely without losing control.
You’ll learn:
-
Why “aggression” isn’t about fouling harder — it’s about reacting faster.
-
How to use controlled-chaos drills to hard-wire competitive energy.
-
What language, tone, and habits model toughness for your team.
-
The secret to making your quiet players compete with fire.
Coach Collins shares proven ways to shift a team’s identity mid-season — and stories of how mental aggression, not just physical effort, changed everything.
