PSA to coaches/trainers (of all sports): There's no one "right way" for athletes to execute tasks. Give them guidelines & tools, then let them self-discover. Self discovery in sports is the key to development! Stop fitting every player into the same box
Why does Indiana have short practices?
It’s not about doing less.
It’s about wasting nothing.
Cignetti learned early:
Less exposure = fewer injuries.
Fewer injuries = more continuity.
But the practices aren’t just shorter.
They’re sharper.
Over half the time is scheme communication and job assignment reps.
They’re rehearsing decisions.
Practice days are mental
so game days can be physical.
