#30 - Coachability: The Skill That Changes Everything S2.12

Unstoppable Athlete - Mental Resilience for Teen Athletes

In this episode, Sara and Michelle start with a conversation about travel, discomfort, and the value of being open to unplanned experiences, using Sara’s upcoming trip to Vietnam with her daughter as a metaphor for growth. That reflection leads naturally into a bigger conversation about coachability: the willingness to stay open, adaptable, and teachable even when things feel uncomfortable. They explain that coachable athletes are the ones who listen fully, respond without defensiveness, try new techniques even when it feels awkward, and show they are eager to improve. Through tryout stories, team examples, and practical advice, they show that coachability is not something you either have or do not have—it is a skill that can be learned, and it matters not just in volleyball, but in school, work, and life.


Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Coachability is a skill you can learn
  2. Take it personally. You are valued and your coach is willing to invest in you.
  3. Confidence comes from being willing to be uncomfortable.
