Here\u2019s what to do BEFORE tryouts get here\u2026[Ultimate Checklist!]<\/p>\n
Hey Coach!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll admit this up front\u2026<\/p>\n
If I don\u2019t write something down, it ceases to exist as far as my brain is concerned.<\/p>\n
I rely heavily on lists and organizational tools.<\/p>\n
That may be the teacher in me, but whatever the reason, I need structure to make the best use of my day\u2026(who doesn\u2019t!)<\/p>\n
So when I saw this tool, I was floored.<\/p>\n
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.<\/p>\n
I mean, every coach has a plan they go through to prep for tryout and preseason \u201crituals\u201d, but I\u2019ve NEVER seen anything as detailed as this.<\/p>\n
I literally put aside the forms and notes I\u2019ve been using for years, and replaced them with this \u201csecret weapon\u201d.<\/p>\n
Coach Derek Sheridan, who runs the show at Delta High School (IA), is my new favorite guy.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s gone over and above with this 30 page basketball-specific preseason planning tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are just a few of the topics that I ripped right from the Table of Contents:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Team Logistics, Strengths, Weaknesses, & Change\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01<\/p>\n Team & Individual Defense\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4<\/p>\n Man-to-Man Defense Fundamentals Teaching Progression\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4<\/p>\n Zone Defense Teaching Progression\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05<\/p>\n Zone Defense Breakdown Drills Progression\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 6<\/p>\n Man-to-Man O\u2019 Concepts Teaching Order\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06<\/p>\n Man-to-Man Actions Teaching Order\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n And here\u2019s what a typical section looks like on the inside\u2026<\/p>\n TEAM LOGISTICS, STRENGTHS, & WEAKNESSES<\/p>\n 1. # of practices until our first scrimmage:\u00a0 ______. # of practices until our first game: ______.<\/p>\n 2.
