The RESET
Following on from the empowered-athlete thread and the ‘what did you notice?’ debrief — this one’s about a moment we rarely coach: the ten seconds straight after a rep.
Watch an athlete after a missed rep.
Most replay it — you can see it on their face — and they carry it into the next effort.
Our coaching instinct is to fill that gap with corrections, which just gives them more to carry.
The tool I use is a 10-second reset, taught exactly like a drill.
3️⃣ parts: one breath out, one word — their cue, in their words, not mine — then eyes back to the start line. That’s it.
We rehearse it after good reps too, so it’s automatic long before it’s needed after a bad one.
Why it earns its place: come race day you’re in the stand, not beside them.
The reset is how an athlete coaches themselves between efforts when you can’t.
The athletes who’ve built it don’t have shorter memories — they’ve got a routine that decides what travels to the next rep with them.
Ten seconds, done well, decides the next rep — and enough next reps decide the session.
What do your athletes do in the ten seconds after a rep at the moment — and is any of it deliberate, or is it dead time?
