Creating A Player Development Program
Today we will talk about creating player development in a program. There are three main questions coaches must ask themselves when creating player development in their program:
What are the most important skills you want your players to have in life?
What experiences do you want your players to have while in your program?
Outside of wins, what actions of your players would bring you the most pride?

I’ve said multiple times on my show how player development can help a program, now we will dive deeper into the topic.
