Today was a good day and a good practice. We spent some time diagramming the formation we would be playing for a next game, and discussing issues from our previous game. First and foremost, we discussed how our opponents had spread the field and played diagonal balls. The players were attentive and interested to discuss strategy, and our goal to play more wide balls, and more diagonal balls. We drew diagrams of the field in our notebooks and wrote down the names of the players who would play in certain spots of the field. Then we went outside and played a full 11 on 11 game with special wide channels for certain players only where they could not be challenged for the ball. This encouraged players to play the ball wide. I was definitely hard on the players during the game. I pushed them to make good choices in their passing and I think they responded well. Even Devontae who is usually emotional with any sort of correction, responded well. I'm confident about our game tomorrow. No time to prepare or conduct the baseline questionaire mentioned in the previous entry. Will try to do it on the next practice.
