X’s and O’s with FLG

On the Same Page

Posted on November 4, 2016 by Corey Winkoff

I have 4 new players on my rising senior team. 2 players are from another state and two of the new players have missed a couple of important team practices.

How do I get these 4 players on the same page prior to playing in a team tournament?

At FLG, we utilize our Digital Playbook to get new player’s accustomed to our philosophies, methodologies, and team concepts prior to tournament play.

For example, prior to this weekend’s Quaker Fest Tournament, we sent an email to our teams participating saying, “Please watch following videos. These videos apply to your position and will help us play better as a team. Understand, the better we play as a team, the better you look as individuals. Any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! -Coach Corey & Coach Dunne”

The FLG Digital Playbook

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Corey Winkoff

A great new feature we rolled out to our Select Player’s this year is a Digital Playbook.

Here’s how it works:

FLG shoots videos of different components in our playbook at the FLG Offices
FLG uploads those videos to our YouTube channel under the category “FLG Digital Playbook“
FLG emails specific videos to our families through Team Snap each week depending on what we are working on in practice that week. Additionally, we send those same videos to our coaches to make sure they have a complete understanding of what we’re looking to teach that week.
FLG players now go into practice with a basic understanding of what we are trying to learn that week and FLG coaches go into practice knowing exactly what and how to teach those concepts.

It’s that simple! Hopefully you can do that same in your program. For questions about how we further develop our athletes and coaches, drop a comment below…
