Planning practice to reflect not only skills and strategy but team culture can be a daunting task. In this “behind the scenes” look at the Boys NTDP Training Series, Charlie Sullivan, Springfield College Head Coach & NTDP Age Group National Team Coach, provides guidance to coaches as to how he designs practices with quick cues and minimal transition time while still reinforcing a cultural “key.” Sullivan emphasizes the need to design drills that reinforce the cultural aspect you are working on, in a game-like situation (e.g., 6v6 where the value is communication and they are rewarded in game play for communicating well). 0:00 – Introduction 0:32 – Inside NTDP Boys Training Environment 1:45 – What “Culture” Means in Practice 3:05 – How Drills Reinforce Team Standards 4:30 – Coaching Intent Behind Each Drill 6:00 – Player Communication and Accountability 7:25 – Building Habits Through Repetition 8:50 – Observations from Live Training 10:15 – Lessons for Coaches 11:35 – Final Thoughts and Takeaways
