A WINNING ATTITUDE – PRACTICE AND DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a list of basic practice and development considerations each coach should remember when installing and developing his position players
1. Give each player a chance to succeed and be positive. You’re only as good as the last guy. So, how good will that player be?
2. Push players to their maximum physical efforts.
3. Make your group “Drill Atmosphere” full speed.
4. Teach up, don’t teach down. Teach at top position skill level.
5. Correct all techniques and assignment errors “Immediately”.
6. Maintain position discipline – control action – stress execution.
7. Teach with high percentage repetitions and low percentage group discussion; develop position skills.
8. Skills are perfected by “Repetition” – move players fast through drills.
9. Begin new practice segments as fast as possible – predict effort.
10. You must continuously talk execution, NO assignment errors. Emphasis first key reactions.
11. Teach the easiest way to complete the assignment – learn from repetitions.
12. As a position coach stress basic skill techniques, the game is secondary.
13. Instill a practice work ethic – force your players to practice “Hard”.
14. Be persistent in demanding that techniques be performed correctly.
15. Coach at near game like player reaction.
16. Plan and only use position drills that relate to specific position assignments.
17. End practice segments on the whistle – start new drill as soon as possible.
18. Always bring practice schedule with you to practice.
19. When working with other groups (example OL vs DL) get your group ready quickly – do not wait for the other group - reps are the most important thing.
20. The most important point to remember is: Your coaching image can change the football life of your position players.
