Ask for feedback you can use.
Ask for Feedback You Can Use.
Turn “How did I do?” into a conversation that helps your next practice.
Legacy North editorial draft · October 2026
Bring a Specific Question
Pick a part of the game: “When I receive the ball under pressure, what should I notice first?” A coach can answer that more clearly than “Am I good?” Choose a time when they can listen rather than interrupting another athlete’s instruction.
Repeat the Cue in Your Words
Tell the coach what you think they mean. If you are unsure, ask for a demonstration or one example. Clarifying is part of learning; it is not a failure to understand.
Try It and Return with Evidence
Use the cue during the next suitable drill. Notice what changed and what was still difficult. At the next check-in, describe the attempt. You do not need instant success to show that you are taking feedback seriously.
