What Happens When...

The plan was set.  The wheels put in motion.  We were primed for a fantastic performance.  Warm up went well.  We were loose.  We were ready.  We stepped in the circle.  Unlike past performances, it just wasn’t there. 

When performances do not go as planned, how do we as coaches handle that situation with our athletes?  Do you give your athletes time to think about it?  Do you engage your athlete(s) immediately after the poor performance?  

What are your thoughts?
