Sure, we have practice schedules, with timelines and activities. Maybe checklists can improve practice.
For reference, Atul Gawande wrote, The Checklist Manifesto, the bible of checklists. Michael Simmons and Ian Chew share How to Create a Checklist. Simmons and Chew remind us the best checklists are tested, concise, user-friendly, and critical. I cannot claim this 'first draft' proven in any way.
Every team has different needs to address their philosophy, culture, and identity. But unifying themes pervade coaching.
1.What does our team need NOW? These may overlap but not converge with yours...
2.Does practice address the needs?
3.Why are we needy (knowledge, skill, effort, athleticism, conditioning). Fix root causes.
4.Can we measure progress?
Checklists don't replace common sense, adjustments on the fly, or intangibles (team health and morale, leadership development).
They also don't eliminate benefits of simplicity, clarity, and consistency. "Don't cheat the drill. Fall in love with easy...the easy pass, the easy shot.
