There are countless awesome 30 second to 2 min drills for coaches to develop skill with players. What I love about Jodi, is her ability to load drills, share feedback and debrief with athletes. She starts drills off simply and gives players an opportunity to "get the hang of the drill". She will then freeze the drill and add a load or reinforce a point of emphasis.
This is a Canada Basketball teaching process that I find very usefull to keep athletes focused and not bogged down with too much info at each stage of drills. This process gives coaches tools to load drills, physically, mentally, emotionally or socially. The process offers a natural progression to help facilitate learning.
Coaches can benefit from the many modified games she demonstrates. Games are fun! Athletes love to compete and kids love to play. Young athletes do not have adult attention spans. They tune out long lectures. Modified games and loaded drills facilitate discovery based learning where athletes learn in a fun dynamic challenging environment where feedback is give in small pieces at specific times during or after a segment of a drill.
