Why three things you will stop practice for beat twenty things nobody enforces after Thanksgiving.

SHOW NOTES

Most programs walk into the first week of practice with a handbook full of rules and not one real standard. Coach Steve Collins breaks down the difference between a line you cannot cross and a level you hold, and why the long list actually teaches your team that you do not mean what you say. This one is meant to be used before your first whistle, not after your first problem.

What we cover:

• Rules stop behavior, standards set a level, and most gyms are drowning in the first

• Why twenty rules is a bluff and three standards is a program

• A standard only exists if you stop practice for it, including when you are winning

• How to tell a standard from a slogan on the wall

• Letting your players help write them, and what happens the first time you let one slide

This week's challenge: Write down three things you will stop the gym for every single time, and find out this Tuesday whether you meant them.
