INSIDE THE BOOK

Building a Clear and Effective System

A strong coaching system is vital, but its success depends on how well it’s tailored to your team and communicated with precision. Your system should align with your players’ abilities and needs, not just your coaching style. When taught clearly and with focus, it becomes a tool that empowers your team to perform at their best.

How to construct your system:
– Only include things you truly believe in
– Only include things that fit your personnel
– Only include things you can teach well

HEAR – You Forget. SEE – You Remember. DO – You Understand.

The HEAR–SEE–DO principle reminds us that learning is a process. Listening doesn’t build habits—repetition does. Show it clearly, rep it consistently, and allow players to learn by doing. Understanding isn’t given—it’s earned through experience.

The Theory of TWO:

– It takes 2 minutes to explain something.
– It takes 2 weeks for players to understand it.
– It takes 2 months of intense work for players to begin applying it under pressure.

If things are not working, ask yourself:
– Does it fit your personnel?
– Was it taught clearly?
– Has the team bought in?

Don’t talk too much. Teaching must be precise and prompt: Get in, make your point, and leave them alone. Avoid rambling or stopping too often to over-explain. If your team doesn’t grasp it after 10 minutes, they likely won’t after 20 more. Make a note, move on, rethink your approach, and revisit it differently in the next session.
