Bouncing back

It’s always difficult to take a bad loss. In my playing days I would meticulously pick through all the bad plays I had made, or hustle plays I missed. I would then strive to fix those same mistakes in the following days of practice.

As a coach I find it frustrating that I can only review and fix the decision I do or don’t make. And analyze the positions I put the players in to see how I might organize it different.

The greatest fault lies in that I can’t make the plays. When I make the right decision and the boys don’t execute all I can do is mark it down and plan to address it in practice. Hoping the drills I come up with will be enough to take a step in the right direction in fixing the issue.
