Model Energy & communication tactics- Starts withthe coachesTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication6

Coaching Communication SystemEfficiencyDefined: Accomplishing more in the same amount of time. Accomplishing what was supposed to beaccomplished in a lessor amount of timeThe 7secondcoach system decreases the amountof down time for instruction & corrective coaching i.e. - if you average 4 min. per technique &taught 5 techniques per day 20 min. ofinstruction :60lessons 5 min. of technical instruction 15 min. of additional practice time more reps more confidence i.e. - if you average 10 stoppages per practiceto reteach technique & averaged 2 minutesper stoppage 20 minutes of lost practicetime :07terms no stoppage 20 min. ofadditional practice time more reps more confidence* Times and numbers based off using this high level communication style.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication7

Coaching Communication SystemEfficiency7 Steps to Increasing Efficiency1. Commit to building & using common team language2. Use transition cues to maintain engagement3.

Coaching Communication SystemCore FundamentalsDefined: The skills and athletic attributes needed to performthe basic techniques of the sport successfully. Thefoundational techniques and movements neededfor success at the specific level of play.Purpose of Defining & Developing CoreFundamentals:1. Entrance skills of your respective sport2. Progressive technique system- meaning that morecomplex skills can be built off of these basics3. Base for success4. Eliminates coach to coach communicationconfusion5. Ability evaluation tool6. Systematic approach to skill development7. Develops complete technical understandingTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication10

Coaching Communication SystemCore Fundamentals7 Steps to Developing Core Fundamentals1. How many levels of the sport can athletes compete at foryour respective team (City Rec League-YMCA-AAULittle League-Freshman-JV-Varsity-etc.)?2. What baseline skills must be learned in order to be ableto play the sport?3. What basic skills are needed in order to advance fromthe first level (that you defined above) to the 2nd level inthe sport?4. What basic skills must the athlete posses in order trainon their own in the sport?5. What are the basic skills needed for winning at acompetitive level in the sport?6. What are the basic skills needed for winning at the elitelevels in the sport?7. Design the fundamental training program from 6-1.By following the steps above, this should help you outlineyour core fundamentals and then progressively teach morecomplex techniques and skills as the athlete progressthrough your program.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication11

Coaching Communication System:60 Lessons The attention span of our youth today is shorterthan ever before in history goldfish attention span: 9 seconds teenager attention span: 8 secondsHere is the spiraling staircase:1. The longer we talk the less they hear2. The less they hear the less they understand3. The less they understand the more you have toreteach4. The more you reteach the less they get tophysically practice repetitions5. The less they get to physically practicerepetitions the less confident they are6. As confidence decreases so does performanceproduction - this can all be eliminatedTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication12

Coaching Communication System:60 Lessons7 Steps to Developing :60 Lessons1. Teach NEW technique & skills in :60 lessons orless2. Identify your non-negotiable fundamentaltechniques3. Identify the body positioning and all actionterms needed to perform the fundamentaltechniques4. Have no more than 2 cue words in eachsentence for action items (:07 terms)5. No more than 5 sentences to explain thattechnique6. Test that each skill can be taught in :60 or less- if not - modify7. Teach progressive techniques - previouslylearned techniques reduce instruction time &the learning curveTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication13

Coaching Communication System:07 termsDefined: :07 Terms are cue words and triggers foraction steps in the fundamental techniquesfor your sport Use these cue words and triggers inpractice. When these cue words and triggers areconsistently used, they becomemeaningful in competition. These cue words & triggers keep practicepace elevated for increased efficiency. The cue words & triggers reducecommunication confusion. Reduced communication confusiondecreases competitive anxiety. Lower levels of competitive anxietyincrease competitive performance &production.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication14

Coaching Communication System:07 termsDeveloping :07 Terms1. Your :07 Terms are created when youdevelop your :60 lessons.2. :07 terms are all body positioning/technical landmarks and teaching pointsincorporated into your :60 Lessons.3. If you built your :60 Lessons properly thisstep has already been completedSide Note:07 terms are specific to :60 lessons and not mindsettalks or motivational phrases that a coach tells theirathletes. They also are not mantra’s such as “hustle”,“keep working”, “Attack”, etc. Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication15

Coaching Communication SystemPractice Organization Knowing what to teach is not the challenge- it’s developing an organized & systematicway of delivering that knowledge. Sport is fluid and as things come-up in apractice it is very easy to get off track being disciplined with your practice planskeeps you on track. It is impossible to consistently reducelearning curves (which increasesconfidence & ultimately performance!) ifyou are not logging in what you areteaching on a daily basis.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication16

Coaching Communication SystemPractice OrganizationDeveloping An Organized Practice Plan1. Backward design from the skills needed to win achampionship at your level at the end of theseason2. Block Series & Systems together so you scaffoldthem for reduced learning curves3. You can’t be “detailed enough” - Time everything- that means everything from H2O breaks to :60Lessons - Everything has a place & time on thepractice plan4. Build tomorrow’s practice plan from todayspractice plan (scaffold & progression)5. Always have a place for notes in case you get offthe plan so you know what you did & didn't cover6. Don’t adjust practice start & end times - becomemore efficient7. Keep all practice plans for an annual year endreview to determine efficiency & productivityTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication17

Coaching Communication SystemCognitive BiasDefined A genuine deficiency or limitation in our thoughtprocess that creates a flaw in judgement arisingfrom memory, social experience, misjudgmentsor conditioned thinkingTypes of Cognitive Bias1. Confirmation bias A personal bias that becomes fact if anyoneelse agrees with it2. Functional fixedness Thinking that ideas and objects are used acertain way - no exceptions3. Negativity bias A negative experience effects decisionmaking more than a positive experience4. Projection bias The assumption that other people think likewe do making our bias rightTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication18

Coaching Communication SystemCognitive BiasTypes of Cognitive Bias5. Bandwagon effect The more people that believe it or do it - mustmake it acceptable or right6. Status Quo bias Choices designed to eliminate change regardless of whether its the best decision ornot7. Anchoring Effect Comparing & contrasting based on limitedinformation - only cost & not R.O.I. Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication19

Coaching Communication SystemCognitive BiasChallenges Created With Cognitive Bias1. Eliminates coach and athlete growth2. Reduces opportunities for success byeliminating appropriate alternatives3. Decreases creative problem solving4. Suppresses innovation5. Increases chances of making an error injudgement6. Creates a false sense of successful probability7. Can’t see past conditioned thoughtsparametersTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication20

Coaching Communication SystemThe Learning CultureWhy A Learning Culture Is Important In the largest research study ever done onorganizational learning cultures DavidMallon found that “the single biggestimpact on an organizations success is thelearning culture.” Leaders must consistently challengeexisting assumptions to maintain aconstant state of learning to stay ahead ofthe competition. The likelihood of falling prey to CognitiveBias is dramatically reduced.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication21

Coaching Communication SystemThe Learning Culture7 Strategies of a Successful Learning Culture1. An expectation that everyone mustcontinuously learn2. Provide a system for delivering and capturingknowledge3. Increase the knowledge base around theprograms values4. Be intentional in including the community5.

Regardless of who mom & dad areor if the coach sees potential - theathlete MUST WANT TO BE THERE! A 6’10” athlete that wants nothing todo with basketball will never reachtheir potential as long as they’reforced to participate!Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication35

The Athletic EnvironmentOwnership MattersThe research is clear:The more money that is spent without thedesire to spend it from the athlete - the lessthe athlete enjoys the sport & the morefrustrated the parents are during the athleticexperience!Passion is Personal not Persuasive To play sports is a personal choice and tobe great at sports requires a massivePERSONAL commitment!

Fair Time: Every player plays a significantamount, not equal, based on positionand ability.3. Talent Time: Players play based on talent levelswith no expectation of amount oftime.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication39

The Athletic EnvironmentThe Play Time IssueWho is driving the 3 perspective1. Equal Time: Leagues that are recreational innature & parents of the athletes thatare not as talented at this point.2. Fair Time: Most coaches at the lower levels tryto use this approach. Withoutenough wins some parents often willget restless with this approach.3. Talent Time: This is most often used at the higherlevels of sport - elite travel teams,high school teams & above.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication40

The Athletic EnvironmentThe Play Time IssueThe REAL Solution Evaluate your childs talent level without biasand place them in the appropriate league atthe appropriate level - This results in theappropriate amount of playing time!

You are in control of your play-timebased on what you know and howyou perform!Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication46

The Athletic EnvironmentWhat Happens at HomeWe have discussed this aspect atrelative length to this point. I will givean overview: Extra work must be done at home(most often NOT done by theparents but a properly credentialedcoach) to overcome anyperformance related issues. Support must be unconditional fromhome. The home & parents must be a placefor support not another practice orcoaching session!Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication47

The Athletic EnvironmentThe Good FITFIT - describes the totalexperience!All factors must be consideredwhen selecting a player or acoach or a team: Coaching Style Discipline Structure Competition Level Program Goals Amount of Practice Fits in ScheduleTheory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication48

The Athletic EnvironmentThe Good FIT7 Factors Affecting FIT1. Does the team FIT the “why” for your child?2. Is the philosophy on play time right for mychild?3. Is the value system appropriate for my child?4. Is the discipline structure appropriate for mychild?5. Is the coach properly qualified to improve mychilds athletic ability?6. Do the practice & competition schedules fitwith the other activities my child is involvedin?7. Does my child feel comfortable playing withthe kids on the team and for the coach?Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication49

The Athletic EnvironmentThe Good FITThe Right Level1. This is usually the start of a goodor bad experience.2. Placing your athlete on a team thatallows for appropriate play time,technical and tactical developmentis critical. Playing up or at the highestdivision simply to say “my kidplays for” or “we play on” is notbeneficial.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication50

The Athletic EnvironmentAthletic SpecializationWhat Does This Mean?Sport specialization is focusing on a single sportin an effort to gain more repetitions, experienceand training in hopes of becoming an eliteathlete in that sport.Does It Work?1. Research at this point does not supporteither an anecdotal or statistic advantage.2. There are many statistical categories thatcan be associated with high levels of athleticsuccess - sport specialization has neverbeen one of them.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication51

The Athletic EnvironmentAthletic Specialization7 Negative Aspects to Specialization1. Negatively impacts proper childdevelopment.2. Increases psychological risks associatedwith stress.3. Statistical correlation with overuse injuries.4. One-dimensional athletic skilldevelopment.5. Statistical correlation to psychologicalburnout.6. Often aligns with adult values more thanthe athletes.7. Limits transferable skill development whichbuilds a better athlete (1 sport or 1position limitations).Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication52

The Athletic EnvironmentAthletic Specialization7 Reasons to Diversify1. Less pressure to perform - greater likelihoodto persist.2. Statistical correlation to reaching elite levelswhen specialization occurs at older levels(Jr-Sr).3. Decreased incidence of injuries (and in thoserequiring surgery).4. Reduced competitive Anxiety - developmentemphasis.5. Improved socialization skills - meet morepeople & coaches.6. Sampling allows athletes to find their bestathletic fit.7. Kids are driving this train - it aligns with theirdesires.Theory & Methods of Athletic Coaching & Communication53
