Today we have a REPOST… as many coaches start the summer programs. Below are great things to remember and go over with your staff.
As we strive to keep things simple in our training programs it is imperative that we understand our coaching needs to be just as simple. Here is a quick rundown to keep us on track while coaching our athletes.
COACHING
TEACHING: Clear, Clean, Concise and Direct. YOU MUST BE A GREAT TEACHER!
CLEAR - speaking or watching what you want.
CLEAN - exercise cues, graphics or video
CONCISE - break everything down. Fundamentals. TO THE POINT
DIRECT - direct your teaching at an individual or individuals
-Be specific and organized when critiquing players.
-Be specific with your exercises and drills.
-Demand they do exercise correctly / finish drills. If not do it again or teach better.
FINALLY
Correct one thing at a time = 85% SUCCESS RATE
Correct two things at a time = 35% SUCCESS RATE
Correct three things at a time = Good Luck!
No training Program is good or bad unless its not prepared, layout, comprehensive and coached
If you are bored, your athletes have already been for a while.
YOUR ATTITUDE, PREPAREDNESS AND ENERGY ARE CONTAGIOUS!
Give the players your all!!
