Your focus
Game leadership happens during stoppages. Players who can organize their teammates, deliver a clear tactical adjustment, and re-energize the group have a game-changing impact that transcends individual skill.
Designate a different Huddle Captain for each possession in a small-sided activity scrimmage.
After each dead ball, the Huddle Captain calls their team in, delivers one tactical adjustment and one motivational statement within 15 seconds.
Team implements the adjustment in the next possession.
Coach evaluates the quality and impact of each huddle.
Helpful cues
- Tactical: tell them what to do differently, not what went wrong
- Motivational: make it specific to THIS team in THIS moment, not generic
- 15 seconds: leaders are concise, every word matters
