Coaches correct the players they still believe in. When the notes suddenly stop, that’s the time to ask questions.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Correction takes effort, so it tends to go where someone thinks it will pay off. Being told what you are doing wrong, often and in detail, is usually a sign of investment rather than disapproval. Silence is the harder signal to read. It can mean you are fine, and it can mean the attention has moved somewhere else.

If the feedback has gone quiet, ask directly what you should be working on, and ask for one thing rather than a general view. Most people answer a specific question honestly. And while you are being corrected a lot, hear it as time being spent on you.
