In this episode we are joined by Associate Head Coach of Southern Maine CC, AJ Burton.

His attention to detail and scouting progression has helped Southern Maine become one of the top defensive teams in the country, including being a top 3 defensive team in the USCAA 2 out of the last 3 seasons. In this session Coach Burton shares his scouting strategy, and offers three specific strategies for coaches.

Questions we cover:

Why is scouting such an essential piece to a successful team?

How do you balance prepping and possibly making certain adjustments to simply sticking to your own offensive and defensive philosophies?

How much of a scout goes from what you and your coaching staff know compared to what you decide to relay to your players?

How many scouting sessions would you perform with a team leading up to a game? And how long would they be?

If you have limited time as a coach or many games in a short time span, what are the 3-4 things that you want to make sure you have covered and relayed to your team before heading into that game?
