"Oh, my." That's the response you want when you walk into the first tryout in August. Coaches react when they see "player transformation" in skill and athleticism.
When opponents see it, they think, "we are in for it today." I've heard it.
"Unseen hours" of training are what we want to see - the pogos, the plyos, the workout bands, jumping rope. What would be awesome?
1. MVB team building video. Team building can include public service, a bowling outing, group strength and conditioning.
2. MVB jump roping... imagine jumping rope as a team for five minutes, showing other teams that you win the conditioning battle. Note: over 50 years ago, we started basketball practice with five minutes of jumping rope.
3. Off-season skill building video work on platform skills, digging, attack footwork, closing the double block.
4. Players working in tandem to build skill. Work out with a teammate to drag more players into the "top ten percent," noted Urban Meyer in Above the Line.
5. Updated MVB hype video. Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean once said, "if you can do it, you ain't boasting."
Lagniappe. You have the receipts. And every new season starts at 0-0.
