About this listen

Coaching isn’t just about what you say—it’s about knowing when to say nothing. In this episode, Mark Renneson tackles three moments when silence helps your players more than feedback, how to decide if a ball machine is worth it (and when it isn’t), what to do when a player melts down in matches but shines in practice, and how many hours on court is too many for a coach without compromising lesson quality.

🎯 What you’ll learn

The 3 situations where great coaches keep quiet

Ball machines: smart uses vs. false confidence

Helping a player who chokes—reframing identity & reducing fear

A practical test for coach workload (so hour 7 looks like hour 1)
