In this episode, Mike Willis, head coach at Marist, shares his innovative coaching strategies for managing player readiness throughout the season. He discusses the adoption of "no sweat Thursdays" and "fast Fridays," which enhance performance and recovery by optimizing practice schedules.


Mike reflects on shifting Thursday practices to mornings, allowing for reduced physical strain and longer rest periods, resulting in decreased soreness. He details how early week practices create a relaxed review environment, minimizing preventable mistakes while maintaining engagement.


Fridays focus on fast-paced simulations of game conditions, with special teams integrated into the overall practice regimen.
