Why Report Day Sets the Tone for the Season

Scientists say that we form our first impression about someone within the first seven seconds of meeting them.  Report Day is about getting off to a great start with your players and setting the tone for your vision of the season.  That starts with the impression you create.

Report Day is jammed packed from moving into dorms, to physicals, to meetings with compliance, trainers, nutritionist, and sport administrators to picking up gear, to individual head shots and team photos.  Wow what a day!

You are chomping at the bit to get your team on the field the next day … But as Lee Corso would say “Not so fast my friend.”  You must take care of business today.

 You are a coach that expects players to be on-time and organized.  Are you?  Will you be?

Remember, Coach …Everything you do is observed and analyzed by your players. 

It is your job to make sure Report Day is planned and presented in detailed fashion… just like you expect your players to play.

Every detail of Report Day should be planned and executed to a tee!

And coaches please don’t forget … this is a time for you to connect with your players .. have fun and laugh with them… be loose.   Show them who you are!  And if your day is well planned and executed, you will have plenty of time for these important connections.

And please remember to feed the players throughout this busy and important day! 

The first day of practice will be hours away…. for today be organized and have fun - and carry that over to practice tomorrow!

What kind of impression will you give your players on Day 1of what you want to be a great season? 

Namaste,

Coach Druzz
