Off-Season Practice Planning https://teachhoops.com/ · https://coachingyouthhoops.com/ · https://heysammi.com/ TITLE What Should Your Off-Season Actually Look Like? SUBTITLE Nobody is watching and nobody is keeping score, which is exactly why this is where programs separate. SHOW NOTES The season ends and most coaches take a breath, then look up and it is October again. This episode is about building an off-season with an actual plan behind it: what to evaluate while the season is still fresh, what to hand each player to work on, how much structure is too much, and how to arrive at the first practice ahead instead of starting over. What we cover: The program review you should do within two weeks of your last game Individual development plans, and why one thing per player beats a list How much organized time is right, and when you are doing too much Using the off-season to develop your staff, not just your roster Arriving at preseason with the work already done This week's challenge: Pick one player and write the single skill that would change his role next season, then tell him.
