In this episode of The Coaching Life, we discuss one of the most underrated traits in sports: game awareness.

Why do some athletes always seem to be in the right place, make the right play, and help their teams win—even if they aren’t the most physically gifted players on the field?

We explore the hidden skill that separates good players from great ones and share practical ways coaches can help develop this awareness in their athletes.
