Plan with a Purpose. Plan with the End in Mind

To me, this just means that we have to have a purpose and a why behind all of the drills that we do in practice.  We have to practice discernment in our planning process - don't just do something to do it or because that is what you have always done.  Kids today are smarter than that.  They want to know how this is going to help them and why they should be doing something.

We can complain about our kids not buying in and the 'culture' today, or we can adapt and be better coaches, comminucatiors and leaders by having a purpose and a why for what we do and by effectively communicating how this particular drill can and will translate to individual and team success.

Plan with a purpose.  Plan with the end in mind.  And it's okay to smile while doing so (lol).
