PLAYER TYPES: WIRED DIFFERENTLY
understanding athletes for better coaching, communication, and performance
PlayerType training helps coaches understand how different athletes are wired so they can communicate better, coach more effectively, build stronger buy-in, and get more consistent performance from their players.
Thursday, July 30th
1:00 PM ET
Online Zoom Meeting
Every player processes pressure, feedback, and decisions differently, and coaching them all the same way leaves talent on the table.
PlayerType sorts athletes into four types, Explorer, Builder, Driver, and Connector, based on how they think, decide, and react under pressure.
Once you know a player's type, generic advice turns into precise, individual coaching.
You'll learn to spot each type in practice and in games, often before the player says a word.
You'll walk away with specific language and adjustments to use with each type starting this week.

Kevin Willis, PhD
Kevin Willis, PhD, is a sports psychologist who helps athletes and business leaders perform under pressure. His work centers on purpose, awareness, and mindset, the three levers that drive real, lasting improvement in competition. He translates that same psychology into the business world, helping entrepreneurs and executives build resilience and get more done with less friction. Kevin also tracks how digital habits and social media are reshaping attention and confidence in today's competitors, and builds that reality into the strategies he teaches. He pairs psychological research with practical, usable tools, so audiences leave with something they can apply the next day, not just something to think about.
🔺WHY THESE WEBINARS MATTER
WHY ARE SO MANY ATHLETES STRUGGING RIGHT NOW
Athlete development has changed dramatically over the last decade. Coaches, parents, and organizations are dealing with challenges that show up in performance, behavior, confidence, focus, and emotional control.
These webinars are designed to help make sense of what’s happening and provide practical strategies that actually help.
ATTENTION
Many athletes are training in a constant distraction loop, and it affects how they learn, listen, recover, and perform.
CONFIDENCE
Confidence swings are becoming more common, especially when athletes face pressure, comparison, mistakes, or public feedback.
FEEDBACK
More athletes are struggling to process correction without shutting down, getting defensive, or losing belief.
PRESSURE
Modern athletes are carrying more mental noise than most people realize, and it often shows up when the game gets hard.
