This is a great blueprint for introducing shooting in lacrosse, as well!
Rethinking How We Teach Shooting to Beginners Most coaches start with form. We start with outcomes, intention, and variability. Here’s a modern approach to developing shooters. A thread. 🧵

Upcoming post: ‘Beyond “Pass it!” A Framework for Coaching Language’ Enjoyed writing this one, spent a lot of time looking at my own coaching language and how it can improve.

If you plant kids on cones for passing drills, you forfeit the right to later yell, “MOVE YOUR FEET,” during SSGs or scrimmages.

A friend is coaching an ‘All-State’ team in a national tournament. They only get two practices together before traveling. I’m enjoying musing on this. What would be the best use of two practices with solid athletes?

Why, in a time flush with podcasts, books, audiobooks, online material, social media, zoom, conferences, Patreon, etc…are sidelines filled with coaches that clearly aren’t spending any time learning their craft?

Reading Gladwell’s ‘Blink’ and looked into ‘thin-slicing’ in sports. Came across this interesting study: https://t.co/BsR2d2FK0g

The present research investigated whether perceivers could detect who is playing at home or away in soccer matches based on thin slices of professional (Experiment 1) and amateur (Experiment 3)...

I’d implore coaches to get creative and find ways to build games where these skills are refined through play. You’ll be amazed at the results.

There is an insistence that technical skills must be learned, honed, perfected aside the game. I have yet to hear any logical reason to back up that claim. Decades of research says otherwise.

Love this interview of Brad Stevens. If he can maintain his composure in a moment like this, so can every youth coach out there: Brad Stevens Interview | Part I https://t.co/i2iss77tmC via @YouTube

Here’s another view of this obstacle course for ten your olds to somehow… fine tune skill? Not sure what to call it, but I’m sure there’s a fantastic description in the invoice their parents received.

This went on for two hours. 10 year old kids. No apparent or visible joy.

Stan Van Gundy speaks on Youth Basketball “You have to make decision. Do you want to teach the kids you're coaching how to play basketball, or do you just want to win games? Because there's a big difference." (Via @BballCoachMac 🎥)

As a coach, stop using terms such as as, “I have a kid/kids that play for me.” You have kids you coach or mentor. Kids play for themselves and each other. Kids DO NOT play for their coach. This is a very important distinction.

Very well articulated thread.
Traditional technique training is based on repetition. The idea: - Repeat a movement until it becomes automatic. - Once it's stable, players can rely on it in a game. But this stability is actually the opposite of what we want.⬇️

This competition, in Jackson, Wyoming sends some of the best free skiers into an incredibly steep chute. Everything is variable: light, snow quality, speed, talent, temperature, and it changes after each athlete’s run. How can this be coached? https://t.co/EdCrR44uqk
