Tip of the Day - 5/8

Teaching your Coaches - Part 2

Ideas to insure proper teaching and coaching of your no huddle scheme.

4.  Dress rehearsal.  Start early with coaching real-time practice.  We will be out on the field very soon practicing how calls will be made and what happens in between.  Coach you coaches on exactly what you want to see done at certain times and in specific situations.

5.  Sweat the Small Stuff.  If you don't discuss it, chances are it won't happen.  Be very specific with coaches about where and what you want and how you want it done.  Once they know that information and how to put it into practice, they will then start to think like you.  They will find ways to make the things work even better within the system.

6.  Step Back.  Once things are in place give the coaches some latitude.  Step back and let them run a series or a 7 on 7 night and then have a debriefing session after that meeting.  Nothing teaches better than raw experiences so build those into your spring and summer plans.

Stay tuned for part 3 of this series next week.
