Your focus
Single-elimination stakes create the most authentic competitive pressure outside of actual games. Players who learn to compete at maximum intensity on the last play of practice will be ready to compete on the most important play of a game.
At the end of practice, randomly select two teams for a small-sided activity single-elimination point competition.
First team to score wins. Losers are eliminated; new team replaces them.
The final two teams play best of 3 for the practice championship.
Coach evaluates intensity, decision-making, and effort, not just results.
Helpful cues
- Compete like the winner gets to skip conditioning, because they will
- Elimination is the greatest motivator, use it as fuel
- Champion behavior: maximum effort, clean execution, no excuses
