Mindset Monday: Playing Time, Trust, and Volume

If you’re not getting the playing time you want, be honest with yourself.

It’s trust.

Coaches trust players who:

They don’t guess.They trust what they’ve seen every single day.

I’ll give you my own example.

I grew up in California — a non-traditional lacrosse area at the time.

There weren’t elite programs everywhere.

There wasn’t a system feeding me opportunities.

I wasn’t surrounded by a machine that churned out high-level players.

Everything I’ve built in lacrosse was self-taught.

I trained relentlessly.

I studied film obsessively.

I learned by watching, asking questions, and taking advantage of every chance I got to be around great coaches — because there was no roadmap for me.

My playing and coaching career was filled with adversity.

And I didn’t survive it by hoping things changed.

I outworked it.

I put in an unrelenting amount of volume — reps, film, learning, failure, adjustment — until trust followed.

That same principle applies to you.

Playing time is earned through habits.

Trust is earned through consistency.

And both are built when no one is watching.

If you want more minutes…If you want the last shift…If you want the ball late…

Stop asking.

Start stacking volume.

That’s how trust is built.
