If you knew then what you know now. Would you still do it?
That’s a pointless question. Since you didn’t and even though you do now the world has moved on.
Yet we do it all the time. “Stop the game. Go back to where you were. Stand there. Now let’s look at what you were seeing and what you did with the ball.”
Keen to impart our knowledge and help people to see what we can see. All too often we coach the Blindspot. Coach the blindspot and you bring awareness to a situation. But unless you can also improve their capability, all you are really doing is shifting people to Known Weaknesses. Now I know I’m shit.
And that might not be nearly as helpful as coaching the two remaining areas on the blindspot matrix before you double down on blindspot coaching.
Can you see them?
