Finding Answers
- Time - players evolve
- Volume of data - sample size

- Avoiding confirmation bias - "everyone says so"
- Avoid emotional hijacking - "liking influences judgment"
- Previous data
- Changing conditions
- Internal differences of opinion
As players and coaches, find positive ways to align "to" and "for."
