Summary: <br> Footballdiehards.com's Bob Harris joins Matt Waldman's RSP Cast for a conversation about the capacity for change and growth with football players and how we apply that to player evaluation on and off the field. <br> Players don't change.<br> <br> That's what my friend Eric Stoner explains whenever he's asked about evaluating prospects. I get his point but I never agreed with it.<br> <br> In this RSP Cast episode, Bob Harris (Footballdiehards.com) and I discuss why people can change and apply it to football:<br> <br> * The things people and football players can and cannot change.<br> * The people, environment, and resources people need to make changes.<br> * When it is and isn't worth expecting a player to change.<br> * Dynamics contributing to off-field problems with prospects.<br> * Why some teams are more successful than others with "problem players."<br> * Is the issue the player failing the team or the team failing in assessing its capacity to develop players with specific on- or off-field behaviors?<br> <br> This is an hour-long conversation that applies to player evaluation, team development, and managing personnel.
