Stop Overcoaching: Why Great Coaches Observe More
In this episode of the 3on3 Hoops Pod, Coach Kevin and Coach J unpack one of the biggest coaching traps in youth basketball: overcoaching.
They share real stories from their own sidelines about how constant talking and correcting can actually slow down player growth, and why the best coaches often say less and observe more.
You’ll hear how silence, patience, and trust can unlock confidence and leadership in players, and how 3on3 basketball naturally forces coaches to step back and let players figure things out.
Whether you’re a coach, parent, or player, this episode will challenge you to rethink what great coaching really looks like.
