Confidence Isn’t Built How You Think | Episode 139
Jamie and Derek dive into one of the toughest questions in coaching: when should athletes be allowed to make mistakes — and when must coaches intervene? From goalie technique and youth habits to confidence, resiliency, and accountability, the conversation explores why development isn’t black and white. The episode also covers screen and tip training misconceptions, goalie fights, goalie goals, and finishes with a powerful mailbag question on when parents should hand off coaching duties to a goalie coach.
