Coaching Josh

After one game my coach came to me and said:

‘If Josh asks for feedback can you tell him he made great runs but he should hold onto the ball more’

And low and behold, when I went over to Josh he asked for feedback, almost immediately.

It was like my coach was a seer.

But another aspect I thought was interesting about this interaction was the complicated and delicate nature my coach was coaching Josh through me.

He wanted Josh to hear the message but thought it would be better coming from a different source.

Josh never asked me if it was my opinion, he just assumed it was and I didn’t correct him.

I didn’t think to.

My coach successfully and indirectly got his feedback across via the friend messenger.
