Tip of the Day - 5/4

Coaching coaches is one of the most crucial parts of the no huddle install.  In the next few installments of the Tip of the Day segment, we will be giving you lists of ways to help your staff learn, understand, and buy in to your new system.  Here are the first three:

1. Get your staff involved in the creative process.  Buy in is so much easier when everyone (key coaches) feel like they are and will be part of creating and implementing the process.
2. Teach it to them like a teacher would.  So often we forget that our coaches often learn best by doing not just listening.  Have them stand up, go through the motions as a player and a coach.  
3. Set up signal practice sessions.  We have a coach sit behind another coach to simulate getting a signal through a headset and then the coach will send in signals.  Coaches then critique each other on their signals looking for crispness, pace, and accuracy.

Stay tuned for more ideas of how to teach and work with your staff.
