If you have read any of my previous posts you realize that I am a big Kevin Eastman fan. In my opinion he is the best skills coach out there and gives a lot of great information that is easy for coaches at any level to follow. Now that our season is over I'm getting off season skill work ready for players and started looking through his notes and found this.
Most of these are pretty obvious but might be even more important during the off season for players to really get better.
Six components to effective skill development
• Practice at a rate faster than or equal to a game
• Understand that improvement is a process
o Need effective practice and must be in condition
• Eliminate work-out killers: fatigue & boredom
• Have a written work-out plan
• Work on 3 areas everyday: conditioning, dribbling, shooting
• Theory of “2”
o Coach can show any skill in 2 minutes
o 2 weeks before player is comfortable with the skill (working every day)
o 2 months before player is ready to use skill in competition (working every day)
