How to Get Players to Learn Faster

Описание: Coaches talk too much. Players learn too little. This episode fixes that.

In this episode of The Hours, Mark Cascio and Tyler Coston break down one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) teaching tools in coaching: The Plus One Principle.

If you’ve ever:
Overloaded your players with feedback
Watched practice look good but games fall apart
Felt like you’re “teaching” but players aren’t improving

This conversation is for you.
The Plus One Principle is simple: 👉 Teach one thing 👉 Let players apply it 👉 Then — and only then — plus one

We unpack:
Why most coaches try to build the entire house at once
The three most common teaching mistakes coaches make
How simplicity actually speeds up learning
How to use Plus One in practice, player development, film, and shooting
Why “intangibles” are not soft — they’re trainable skills

This isn’t about running better drills. It’s about becoming a better teacher of the game.

Our mission is clear: We’re here to push back against traditional, toxic coaching and help coaches create environments where players actually learn.

If you’re a youth coach, high school coach, college coach, or pro — this applies to you.
