On today’s episode which is the first of four in a series that we will share over the next two weeks, we focus on Coaching Innovations that help you teach your players in the classroom.

While at AFCA, Keith walked around and took a look at some of the most innovative products in the market. He identified a dozen that help make a coach more efficient, enhance player development, and ultimately add to the win column.

Please note that none of these companies paid to be on the podcast. This was purely Keith's research and time spent with them to learn more about what they do. Some of these you may have heard of, and some are brand new to the market, but all are innovative in their approach to helping you as a coach.  

All of them were asked four questions as you will hear:

1. How does this make me more efficient as a coach

2. How does this help me develop my players

3. How does this help us win

4. What’s the feature that coaches like the most

The objective is that you get a feel for these companies and what they can do for you as a coach as well as your players to help create a better game.
