Ep 2035 What if you built your first two weeks backwards from opening night?

What if you built your first two weeks backwards from opening night?

Most coaches plan practice forwards and
run out of calendar, so here is how to start at game one and work your way
back.

SHOW NOTES

Ask most coaches how many
practices they have before their first game and you get a guess. That guess is
exactly why the Thursday before the opener turns into a panic session where you
cram four installs into ninety minutes. In this two part episode, Coach Steve
Collins builds the first two weeks in reverse, starting with the date of game
one and working back to what has to be true by then.

What we cover:

•  
Counting your real practices instead of your calendar
days

•  
The difference between your install list and your
functional list

•  
Using "what will beat us in game one" to
organize everything

•  
Why habits and sequencing come before any play you love

•  
The day ten test that tells you if you are ahead or
behind

This week's challenge: Write the date of your first
game on a page, count the practices you actually have, and cross one thing off
your install list.
