Description:
In this episode, I’m joined by Loren Anderson—club director, high school coach, and author of the influential blog No More Drills. We dive deep into his latest post, The Ecological Coach’s Manifesto, a heartfelt, thought-provoking exploration of what coaching can become when we let go of control and trust the process.
Topics include:
• Why drills aren’t the answer
• The messy beauty of the Constraints-Led Approach
• Loren’s NAC framework (Notice, Adapt, Commit)
• ACT and the mental side of learning
• Motivational Interviewing and athlete ownership
This one is for coaches ready to trade perfection for presence—and let learning breathe.
