Model, Teach, Test, Reward with Stephen Mackey – 2Words Character Development

View more from 2Words Character Development here. • September 2, 2025 • By Stephen Mackey

Watch as Stephen Mackey discusses how leadership is critical in the teaching progression of athletes. He explains "Model, Teach, Test, Reward" as a method of teaching that produces results. How you work as a coach teaches students how to work. Modeling is not enough, so you must explain the 'how' and 'why' and teach them what you want. Testing is key so the athletes have opportunities to demonstrate their progress. If they get it wrong or need correction, you repeat the entire process. Reward your athletes when they get it right because what gets rewarded, gets repeated.
