The key to great coaching is to identify the skill-related problem ( area for development ) and think creatively about the best way to exaggerate the problem and create high volumes of repetition in a variable , game-like practice – think of it as ‘ repetition without repetition ’.
Ask yourself the following questions :
• Are the players enjoying and / or engaged in the game ?
• Is the purpose of the game being achieved ?
• Are all the players being challenged appropriately ? ( is it too difficult , too easy , one-sided )
If the answer to any of the above questions is NO , then
CHANGE IT , but remember to retain the integrity of the game . – Insert repetition without repetition video
