Guess why the mat is on the floor? So grateful for my daughter for allowing me to “try” some things with her that help all coaches who follow me. Literally some “development” ideas have been discovered and shaped in our sessions.

I saw a few teams "trying" to attack 1-3-1 defenses this past weekend....I showed one coach this and their youth team started to create advantages and stimulate ball movement. Check out more possibilities here

Who's peel switching this year? Peel Switching isn’t just a tactic—it’s a mindset. Defense isn’t passive. It’s proactive.

Shoot when you're open. Pass when someone else is open. Drive when nobody's open. This mantra simplifies decision-making. It teaches players to read the game, not just run plays. No overthinking—just clear, actionable choices.
