What if I told you that you were leaving untapped skill development on the table?
MOST COACHES ARE! Let me explain.
It's all about pacing... Every team has a skill acquisition capacity, and a pace at which they can acquire new skills. When building a practice plan, or creating a longer-term season plan, or multiple-season plan, one of the biggest unknown factors is "How Fast will the Players be able to Progress?"
This is a MASSIVE consideration, and one that can't be determined ahead of time... IT'S FLUID. So we need a plan with the same fluidity as our players.
If our development plan pacing is slower than the capability of our players, we leave development on the table because OUR PACE IS SLOWER THAN THE PLAYERS COULD BE PROGRESSING.
