Quarterback Mindset from Football Skills & Drills by Tom Bass
The quarterback needs to know his offense and the defenses he will face. A team's success depends on how he studies the game and prepares mentally for each contest.The quarterback should keep a written record of the plays that the team will use that week and the down and distance when they will most likely be called. During the week, he should study the list—the game plan—away from the field. He must be confident that he knows how to call each play and what his responsibilities are on each play.
Teaching the Basics from Coaching Volleyball Successfully by Sally Kus
A philosophy I have always stuck with is to develop the basics 'til they're basic, starting with the grassroots level and then developing players through their senior year. A team cannot progress without good serving, pinpoint passing, and great setting. Developing the basics takes work and repetition. It also takes a coach who can instill respect for basics and develop drills to promote skill maintenance in a competitive and fun manner. Basics are the building blocks that are required to apply creative offenses and defenses. Acquiring and maintaining good basic skills allow players the freedom to learn new systems and tactically apply them in game situations.New Releases
