Mark Barnard muses over the psychology of showing video to players: do you show the good or the bad? Barnard explains that there’s a middle ground. The goal is to keep a healthy balance of critiquing and praising. During team video sessions, incorporate both clips of the team performing something well and the team underperforming a skill or scenario. Tell the players what they have done right, but also tell them where improvements can be made. Variations: Barnard uses a third category of video to lighten the mood, what he calls “WTF” moments. If you’re looking to add a little humor or lightness to video sessions, consider adding this category.
