Prioritizing Engagement
- Prioritize engagement in youth sports sessions, focusing on the inherent joy of the game.
- Start sessions with games or game-like activities instead of using them as rewards.
Games vs. Drills
- Traditional line drills often lead to players going through the motions and decreased quality.
- Games can motivate players to improve specific skills by highlighting the need for those skills in a practical context.
Defining Skill
- Skill in sports is not just about technique but also adapting movements to the demands of the situation.
- Coaching involves designing appropriate problems for players to solve, considering their individual skill levels.
