Your coach’s confidence in your skills reflects through their trust metric. Key methods to boost this include standout game performances and rigorous training efforts. Early in your career, practice sessions become crucial for proving your worth—bronze-tier results grant 50 trust points, silver offers 150, while gold achievements yield 300 points.

Underperformance risks trust depletion, potentially costing starting positions. The trust system also features Position Battles, triggered when players share equivalent trust levels. These competitive drills against teammates across three practice games determine roster positioning through direct performance comparisons.

Enhancing Coach Satisfaction

Beyond athletic prowess, academic commitment and leadership roles via the Weekly Agenda significantly impact coach contentment. Allocating effort to studies and responsible decision-making creates balanced development. Maintaining academic standing and making strategic choices during downtime can positively influence this metric alongside athletic achievements.
