McCall Not Going To The Portal

I’ll give a personal experience in coaching to this experience. It’s all about how you relate the skills needed to succeed to the kids. Some years. It’s right in your wheelhouse and kids pick it up. Other years. You’ve got to scratch and claw and figure out some way to teach the kids the skill. We’ve always been a big tight zone team. Our base double call is wedge 90. One year we were great at it. Vertical double. Displacement. Knees in crotches. Another year. I couldn’t get the kids to gallop and get there. So we said fuck it. Modified our tight zone to a zone fold scheme and folded all backside doubles. And it worked. Like your example. If the kids aren’t executing I always look first to the coach. Fix it. That’s your job. Load their toolbox. Figure out what tools they handle best.

I also remember watching practice when Cav was the OL coach. And I was blown away at some idle wasted time. Specials would be going and they would just stand around and bullshjt. Fück that extra Indy time is priceless. Fûcking steal that time to get better.

As I train my goalkeepers in soccer, I am always teaching the technique; but it’s also important to teach the “why” in conjunction with the “how.” If I can get the kids to see how what I’m doing fits into the big picture they can start to make decisions for themselves and read the game more and more. There’s nothing more annoying than a coach sitting next to you screaming the whole game because his team can’t make decisions for themselves because he’s taught them what to think and not how to think.

So funny how this same philosophy correlates to the professional sector as well
