What Would Happen If You Cut Your Practice Plan in Half?

SUBTITLE
Subtraction is the most underrated move in coaching, and almost nobody is willing to try it.

SHOW NOTES

Every year the plan gets longer. Another drill, another wrinkle, another coverage, and somehow the team looks less sure of itself in February than it did in December. Coach Collins argues for going the other direction: fewer drills, fewer words, one teaching point at a time, and the confidence that comes from a team that knows exactly what it is supposed to do.

What we cover:

• Why practice plans grow every season and never shrink
• One teaching point per drill, and what happens when you stack three
• Cutting your own talking down and coaching more with a whistle
• The difference between a team that knows a lot and a team that is sure
• What to remove first when you finally decide to cut

This week's challenge: Take your next practice plan and delete one thing without replacing it.
