Tips on Coaching
For all those who are reading this who want to be a future coach it's time we shack up the normal routine. for generation after generation some coaching style that we seen and thought were good ways of coaching may be wrong. i'm not sitting here and saying what i'm about to tell you is the right way either all i'm saying is keep an open mind. most of us who play sports growing up can remember a time standing around while other are practicing and getting more reps than other players. instead of getting reps and getting better your watching other player get better at the sport. this is what is called blocked practices. Blocked practice can be a good way to practice if done right. a video that i watch on youtube. the link is below. I encourage all to watch it is a good teaching tool. he talks about the differences between random and blocked practice. watch the video it's a good one.

I am the type of person who can see something being demonstrated and pick it up almost immediately. When I played basketball in high school we used blocked practices to go over new plays and hard plays in our playbook. Before I started I would watch the first 5 run through the play and I would watch my position and then go out there on the next rotation and do it. I do like an idea of a blocked practice but I also want everyone on the team to get the reps in so when game time comes I can count on everyone on the team at any given moment.
