Tom talks about what practice should mean to you. You should have a plan--down to five minute increments. You should allow for immediate teaching without calling players out. You should build confidence and work with players who lack some ability to focus on one or two skills, which will give them confidence. Practice is almost more important than the game. it's where you make sure they know what they need to do at the game.

In this first Coaching Kids Right Podcast, Tom, discusses what's really important to you as the coach and to your players. He explains some of the pitfalls of dealing with parents and acknowledges that not all of his coaching time has been spent making the right decisions. He's learned--a lot-- and he wants to share that wisdom so you don't make the same mistake.
