I guess I should have prefaced my comment with "My nephew is just getting into coaching in another sport. This study sounds like it could have application in his sport and could help his budding career."
What I was trying to find out is in the discussion of TRIP did the speaker describe what he finds when Trust is absent for whatever reason (hasn't been earned or earned yet or has been lost)?
Is it just straight up there is no Progress because there is no Innovation because they don't have Trust to allow them the security to take Risks? Or is there some variation to that. Can you get a certain amount of Progress without Trust? How does it show, etc? What are the effects?
What does he look for to determine if the level of Trust is the issue?
Stuff like that.
Thought that may have been discussed on the Sirius broadcast.
Didn't mean to say anything that could be applied to the program. Just trying to get more information.
Here is my amateur opinion based on information I have studied from sports psychologists.
When you perform an athletic task, lets say shooting a free throw, you don't think about how many times you dribble the ball, how far your fingers are apart, how far back you cock your arm, when you release the ball, and if you snap your wrist. There are millions of tiny little neural reactions and muscle movements that take place in this simple act, but it is done automatically, from the "muscle memory" you have built up over long hours of practice the free throw shooting motion. If you try to interfere with that by "thinking" about any one particular piece of it you are guaranteed to miss. You have to be on auto pilot. I'm a tennis player, and in tennis we call that "playing in the zone".
Thus sports psychologist tell us that we must "trust" our actions. a basketball player must "trust" his shot, a tennis player has to "trust" his swing, and football players must trust their throwing motion or their ability to catch the ball. As an athlete you simply stay focused on the result and the process takes care of itself.
The idea of trusting in team mates, is simply an extension of the idea that we need to trust in our own abilities that we have trained ourselves to do. If a quarterback is anxious about a receivers route or his ability to make a difficult catch, it will interfere with his throw. when trust is there, everything works smoothly and harmoniously. In the case of a QB and a receiver that trust comes form many hours of reps together. The same thing applies to other positions. An offensive tackle has to trust that the guard next to him will carry out his assignment, or the scheme will fail. A safety has to trust the corner to cover a guy to a certain point on the field before he arrives for help etc.
