Strong framework for connecting soft skills to performance outcomes. The mentorship point is underrated because it creates redundancy in knowledge transfer, so when injuries hit younger players aren't starting from zero. I worked with a program that had zero structured mentorship and the drop-off when starters went down was massive compared to teams with deliberate pairings. The effort-habit connection is real too, once athletes internalize that efort compounds they stop treating preparation like its optional.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the comment. Mentorship is one of the most underrated aspects of team building that I believe some coaches think the current athletes don’t want to be a part of and that is far from the truth. And yes effort goes a long way, and it can be taught in detail off the field. Thanks for reading.
