Coaches,
We just came off a very successful fall season improving 3 games from the previous year. We had a great off season with guys showing huge gains in the weight room and attendance average 50+ kids each day. We just finished a spring season where we defeated (won a close one) with one of the best teams in our area. The kids and coaches were jacked!
With input from our leadership council, I gave them one week off following spring. We had our first day back in the weight room and we were missing almost 20 kids. I was extremely disappointed. I thought the kids would be pounding down the door trying to get in to lift.
Now, we EMPHASIZE the weight room. Ad nauseum perhaps. The kids know they need to be there.
How should I address this? How do I move forward?
