A critical part to the game planning process is to identify the skills each player needs to perform the steps (tasks) involved in a particular play or sequence. After identifying the skills needed by the player, a team must a have a process in place for ensuring that their players develop these skills so that each play or player sequence is productive. Taking steps to develop these skills in every player occurs in two stages: Isolating the Skills & Teaching the Skills.
ISOLATE THE SKILLS
The first step in the process should be to analyze the tasks involved in the assignment of every player. Next, a decision must be made regarding whether the players have the ability to master the necessary skills. If it's determined that the ability of the players does not mesh with the skills required for a specific task. The Head Coach must either discard this part of his offensive plan or alter the play sequence to fit the level of talent.
Whatever the decision, the decision can be made easier if one strictly adheres to one of the cardinal principles of training--SPECIFICITY. This refers to the fact that "an individual gets what he trains for". All factors considered, the more specific his player's preparation, the better their performance.
TEACH THE SKILLS
Teaching players skills they need involves an evolutional process of promoting, enhancing, practicing and refining each facet of the capacity being developed. Rudimentary teaching progression of "hear it, see it, do it".
