This week's skill is defense cues and tips. Davis takes listeners through 15 of his favorite sayings and skill cues that help his teams play awesome defense. He also provides a framework for teaching defense that works without taking a million reps of every skill.


In our scenario segment, Tod discusses how to run a highly effective high school tryout. He goes into everything from administration, evaluation, cuts, and communicating your program's values throughout tryouts, as well as shares the games and drills he does at tryouts. You are sure to pick something up from Tod's 40 years in the game!


We always share one great resource each week, and this week it is Catch Them Being Good, by Tony Dicicco, Colleen Hacker, and Charles Salzberg. This book focuses on how to connect with girl-athletes specifically and how to use this knowledge to build more effective teams. With questions and activities for parents and coaches, this book points out some key differences between training boys and girls, and how treating each team uniquely, coaches can get the most out of their teams, and help create a more positive overall experience for their athletes.
