ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to Episode 90 of the Dialed and Driven Mentality Podcast: Want More Playing Time? Become More Coachable.
Talent matters.
But if you want more trust, more responsibility, and more opportunities, you also have to be coachable.
In this episode, Jeff Lerg, Chris Palmer, and Natalie Ferenc break down what being coachable really looks like—and why simply hearing feedback isn’t enough.
You have to:
- Retain it
- Execute it
- Do it consistently
They also discuss how ego can get in the way of growth, why great athletes never stop learning, and why coaches trust the players who prove they can listen and apply what they’re taught.
Because when the game is on the line, coaches want athletes they can count on.
Episode Highlights:
- What being coachable actually means
- Why ego can slow down your growth
- How athletes earn trust from coaches
- Why consistency can lead to more playing time
- The difference between hearing feedback and applying it
- Why great athletes never stop learning
- How to learn even from coaches you don’t always agree with
The biggest message?
Retain. Execute. Be consistent.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to keep learning, applying, and improving.
Stay coachable. Stay dialed. Stay driven.
