| The jargon terms are being explained in the weekly emails (which include about 4/5 other articles and pieces on coaching). The jargon buster as a whole will be finalised soon. Cheers

Just logged on for the first time. Some great topics being discussed. Keep up the good work Dan, just read the Ospreys coaching seminar notes, liked the NO checklist and the listening questionnaire very useful.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

| Great quote - where is it from...and most interestingly, why does it make sense. Just did a session, off the cuff, for a youth team who have a game the next day. Mixed emotions about doing these types of sessions, especially when I was handed the session with about 30 seconds notice and was told about the game after 15 minutes of working on defensive alignments! Some rapid adjustments and then made the best of it. My self reflection has been working overtime.

DanC (22/08/2008)
Just did a session, off the cuff, for a youth team who have a game the next day.

Well, I think S/R in these circumstances can only in reality concentrate on the positives Dan. Unless you have seriously stuffed up over something, you are onto a hiding to nothing with such sessions. So don't beat yourself up over the session "failing" if that is what you perceive - no chance to prepare, direction required not provided until the session was half way done. And to be honest, what you offered would IME be totally relevant to 99% of youth teams anyway (on the basis they rarely seem to have any defensive alignment!).
MUCH harder (if more S/R work needed) are the sessions which have been carefully planned, possibly as a series of developing themes that go disasterously wrong/fail dismally in the intended delivery.
The GB swimming coaches should in some areas be doing some serious S/R post Olympics (selection tactics & open water swimming tactics in particular).

Thanks Didds  What it proves is: 1. It is always better to be prepared. 2. Know thy enemy. 3. Don't expect to WOW them every time. 4. They are very lucky to have any coaching at all (whether it was me or someone else) Actually I didn't "stuff it up", but I know I could have done better. It is just frustrating to spend all day reading and writing about coaching and then suddenly be thrown curve ball which doesn't match up to what you would like to do. By the way I used an "emergency" warm up drill which was in one of the more recent Rugby Coach Newsletters and that worked a treat. So not all bad!
