Send us a textIn this episode, coach Jav breaks down the most common mistakes coaches make in agility training—and why many popular drills fail to transfer to sport.Inspired by a recent Six of the Best contribution with Sportsmith (Emergence Co-founder Shawn, Myszka was also featured), the the episode centers on a core problem: coaches often give athletes the answers instead of setting real problems to solve.Jav explains why repetition without context limits adaptability, why randomness alone isn’t enough, and how poor information sources—like verbal cues, lights, or inanimate objects—can disconnect training from competition. He closes with three practical shifts coaches can make immediately to design more effective, sport-relevant agility environments.This episode is for coaches who want to move beyond scripted drills and develop truly adaptable athletes.Don’t forget: The Modern Coach's Planner is now back in stock!! https://thecoachjav.com/products/modern-coach-plannerSupport & ContactIf you enjoyed today’s episode, leave a review and share it with another coach or athlete who’d appreciate it.
