TITLE
What Do You Say When Your Team Is Getting Run Off the Floor?

SUBTITLE
The game is decided, there are twelve minutes left, and how you handle them says more about your program than the final score.

SHOW NOTES

Every coach gets one. Down twenty five, the other team is still pressing, and your bench has stopped looking at you. This episode is about what to actually do with the rest of that night: what to say in the huddle, what to say after, and how to keep a beating from turning into something your team carries into next week.

What we cover:


Deciding early that the scoreboard is no longer the point

What to give them to compete for when the game is gone

Handling the huddle without lying to them or crushing them

The locker room afterward, and the one thing not to do

Turning the film from a loss like this into something useful


This week's challenge: Decide now what you will say in that huddle, before you are standing in it.
