Every successful in-season starts with a well-planned off-season. Transitioning between the two should be seamless, with off-season expectations laid out clearly for your players. Training camp provides the first glimpse into who followed the plan. Practice is where preparation happens, and it’s crucial for skill development.
As Allen Iverson famously said, "We're talking about practice, we ain't talking about the actual game... when it matters." That’s because practice forces players to face pressure situations and prepares them for game day. Whether you’re running hockey coaching drills, soccer coaching drills, or lacrosse coaching drills, a team practice planner and sports coaching software, like CoachThem, are essential for keeping players on track and improving their skills.
Using sports practice management software like CoachThem, coaches can create custom drills for coaches and simulate game-like situations. This is a great way to help your players succeed when it matters most—on the field, ice, or court.
