You're better in practice
than in games

Practice teaches the what. Games demand the when.
You were only ever taught half of it.

I've spent years next to some of the best players this country has ever made. And I kept noticing the same thing every time. There's a gap between who a player is in practice and who he is in a real game.

Why's that?

The reason's simple, and it's crazy to me that nobody talks about it. No matter what level you're at, practice teaches you what to do. It doesn't teach you when. That other half is the timing. The read. Knowing which thing the moment is asking for. Almost nobody's coaching that.

That's the half I coach.

Diagnosis

Straight to the problem.

He's not watching for highlights. He's watching for the possession where you had the answer and didn't see it.

What makes this different

Everywhere else teaches the first half.
You've had that half your whole life. This is the other one.

Practice tells you what's coming. You know the set, you know the call, and if you blow it you get another rep in thirty seconds. A game gives you one look, half a second, and no answer key. The move was never the problem. The moment was.
