Out of Orders

"If all you give are orders, then all you will get are order-takers." -- Captain Abrashoff

I started tonight's practice with a huddle to review the last game. Rather than spout my own thoughts on strengths and weaknesses, I just asked them what they thought needed work. It was good to hear them bring up the points I was thinking of, without my having to say them. Especially, they wanted to see more passing and less one-on-one play. Bingo! By agreeing on the problem, we'll be motivated toward the solution.
