    Episode 106: Primary and Secondary Practice Focus

    Episode 106: Primary and Secondary Practice Focus

    End your training sessions and practices with a WIN! Planning too much "stuff" in one practice is a sure way to eliminate wins. Concentrate on a few exercises and skills so the athletes can learn and remember the information. Always have a primary focus for the day and sprinkle in the secondary focus when appropriate.
