As our season is around 3/4 of the way finished, I feel that this topic should have been posted a long time ago. I want to talk about foundations and how foundations must be solidly built at the beginning of the year.
We're 3/4 of the way done with our season, yet I feel that some of our guys are not well-grounded in the fundamentals to be able to execute simple things this late in the season. I think some of these things were overlooked early on in the season. We took them for granted. I thought they knew them, understood them, and applied them correctly. As we have went on with the season it has become apparent that we really didn't understand some of the core understanding of our system. It becomes evident in our execution of our offense. It's the small things that make the big differences. It's the understanding of the big picture; the learn it today so it will help us tomorrow and later this season things that we're struggling with.
I think it's a discipline thing. Having the ability to do things the right way at the right time.
So, what I have learned from this is that early on in the season a coach must base the understanding of his offense, the complexities of his defense, the underlying structure of the whole operation on the fundamentals. Everything must be based on them and you must recurrently go over them again to make sure your program is still grounded on its foundation.
