At this time of year we like to put together some best of episodes where we take segments from episodes in our library and put them together in an episode thematically which shares multiple perspective, insight and thought on a specific topic. We have some of those headed your way, but as I was reviewing this particular episode from three years ago, I couldn’t stop listening, because the conversation was timeless and applies across coaching. I really enjoyed going back through this one and there were so many points made that I took notes on again.

The title may have drawn you into thinking that this is about an uptempo style of play, and in many ways it is. We talk about the balance between simplicity and having all the answers, but more importantly, we dig into teaching your players to play fast within whatever offense or style of play you are running.

So here’s my conversation with 12x state champion and an excellent student of the game especially as it relates to teaching it, offensive coordinator at St. Xavier High School, Andrew Coverdale.

Shownotes:

-Playing fast

-Finding the answer

-Working on concepts

-Procedures to playing fast

-Accomplishing the objective

-Streamlining for players

-The winning edge
