Like any young coach, recreating what our coaches did that inspired us to become coaches MUST BE THE WAY WE DO THINGS.
Im sure it is the same for all coaches, the most important thing is that WE DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE TEAM. There are several different ways to accomplish the same goals, the challenge is finding the formula that suits your players.
I try to do two things in my daily practice plan:
1. Reinforce the things we already do well.
2. Challenge ways we already do things, constant change/tweaking.
I became OBSESSED with film a few years ago when I was at Emerson. I learned when executed with purpose film can extremely beneficial. I have learned to use film to help my team and my players individually improve.
Experience is our greatest teacher, we go out there and learn something new every day. Now we have the opportunity to learn even more from our experiences because we can recap it all on FILM. As coaches we try to avoid the digression of players and that point where our team stagnates. A total killer is when returns start to diminish and attention spans are lost, this can happen with film. If we have the proper INTENT (why we show film) we will be progress. If we have the proper CONTENT (what we watch) we will keep their attentions. If we have the proper ENVIRONMENT (where we watch film) we can execute with purpose. If we have the right MOMENT (when we show film) our team will get better.
A player should want to watch film to:
1. IMPROVE
2. PREPARE
3. MOTIVATE
"FILM DOESN'T LIE", we have all heard that line and we have all lived that line.
