DRILL PURPOSE CARDS

A technique to improve the quality of sports practices.

Do you ever watch a drill and wonder why the athletes don’t seem to be giving their all, or why they are not particularly focused? It may be because they don’t know the purpose of the drill. When athletes do not know the reason behind a drill, they are more apt to just go through the motions.

One way to address this problem is through "drill purpose cards." If a practice is not going well, we’ll stop, hand out index cards, and give our athletes a short written quiz that asks them to identify the purpose of the drills we are doing. Sometimes, we are very surprised at their answers, and we realize that we need to better communicate the whys of a drill before we explain the hows.
