Self Scouting
Manage episode 376569316 series 3471658
Self Scouting can be one of the most important things you’ll do for yourself as a coach and for your program. You can’t see everything on the practice field. And in game time scenarios, you’ll likely do things from the gut and less calculated. Self scouting is the best way to analyze what those gut calls are before they happen, and practice film can show you issues LONG before that Friday night kickoff.
What are the benefits of self scouting?
- Ability to see issues you WILL face
- Dictate defenses keys and then use against them
- See problems with your playcalling (both sides)
- Do you have too little, too much?
- Are the kids confused?
- What part of my system is broken, can be taken advantage of?
