“Every single drill that we design as a coach is going to play with the behaviors of our players. It’s going to incentivize certain things and it’s going to discourage other things. The real challenge for us coaches is to take a step back and watch what’s really happening in front of us. Because if we’re not getting the behavior that we want, or not seeing it start to emerge, then we might have to step in and manipulate things. We’re always looking at it from the perspective of our drill design and what it’s asking of the players Because sometimes we do things and practice where the drills that we set up don’t really incentivize behaviors we want.”
