How to Avoid Wasting Practice Time
Effective practice planning begins with one simple principle:
Do not try to accomplish too much in a single practice.
Trying to cover too many topics usually reduces the quality of the work.
A lack of planning wastes valuable practice time.
So does a lack of discipline.
Good practices require clear organization, clear expectations and efficient use of every available minute.
Key Principles
- Do not try to do too much in one practice.
- Always have a clear practice plan.
- Maintain practice discipline.
- Organize drills and transitions efficiently.
- Make full use of the facilities, time and resources available.
- Use the knowledge and expertise of the entire coaching staff.
The objective is simple:
Every minute of practice should have a purpose.
