    Curt Cignetti’s Efficient Practices

    From being labelled ‘the worst team in college football history’ to undefeated national champions. How? Under Curt Cignetti, Indiana have become a juggernaut. And they’ve done it by training less — much less — than their counterparts. Here’s what players say: “It's always moving -- there's no breaks, there's no wasted movement.” “It's tiring because you're moving so fast. You're getting so much done in such a short period of time. That's the best part about it.” “One thing with Coach Cig, he respects the coaches' and players' time highly. But don't f**k with his time. Don't jog. Don't be lazy. That's his time. That's his practice time.” “It’s like, 'Hey, I'm not going to make you do twenty reps of linebacker bag drills anymore. I'm going to make you do three. But they're going to be 100% because that's all you got.' ... Every drill has to matter.” Efficient coaching has needed a poster child, someone who wins and points to their organization as the reason for their success. It has that now in Curt Cignetti. Indiana’s success should cause us all to reflect on how we’re running our own practices. This is a free episode of my subscriber-only podcast.
