10 Lessons I Learned From UCF Elite Camp
Just a few notes I made during our Elite Camp:
1. Camps are the greatest opportunities to improve our teaching skills.
2. Putting players in position to teach reaps great rewards.
3. Teaching skills requires specificity.
4. Kids generally want to learn, want to be taught.
5. Young post players struggle with making and maintaining contact on the seal.
6. Players struggle putting multiple skills together.
7. Coaches must continue to figure out ways to teach stringing skills together.
8. Footwork--especially the "start step" is a weakness in even the best players.
9. Players confuse learning technique with "thinking too much".
10. As coaches we must develop the skill of transferring from Individual Workouts, To Practice, To Games. Slippage occurs in competition.
