Hi Coach,
Young coaches first run what they ran as a player.
Some coaches stick with what they learned from a trusted mentor.
Everyone knows a coach that is so hard headed that if you even blurt out the
word “ZONE” it’s treated like a bad four letter word in their presence!!
I know many… c’mon we all do! You might even have been that coach!
For many coaches we fall in love with a way of doing things… and we don’t change.
We don’t grow!
That is probably the biggest takeaway we had from The 21 Day Defensive Challenge that just wrapped up!
Over a three week period Coach John Wheeler broke down 21
different defenses in 21 days.
Back to back to back to back… Different defenses, different strategies, different ways of executing the same desired result!
A lot of respect gained from defenses I would otherwise never pay any attention to.
I now know concepts and tactics from one defense I can use to add to what I already do.
I can now see how to take almost any defense and adapt it to my changing personnel year after year… rather than just blow the whole thing up.
And I’ve learned more detail about defenses I never gave any credit to or never heard of! “That I now am curious to use”

Talk to you
soon,
