Episode notes
"Mean Ball" Mentality
- Replace "free ball" with "mean ball."
- Focus on making it difficult for the opponent to receive, rather than giving them an easy play.
Flat Line Shots
- Replace "high line" with "flat line" to encourage flatter, harder-to-defend shots.
- Good line shots are flat and fast, not high and loopy.
Positive Communication
- Use "yes, and" instead of "yes, but" in conversations.
- This encourages guided discovery and avoids erasing positive feedback by immediately pointing out errors.
