Your focus
The true test of resilience is competing hard when the scoreboard is discouraging. Young players often reduce effort when losing significantly. This drill creates that exact scenario and reinforces maximum effort regardless of the score.
Small-sided activity. Losing team starts down 0-5 in a game to 7.
Losing team must sustain visible maximum effort and positive body language throughout.
Coach awards 2 bonus points if the losing team wins 3 consecutive possessions (regardless of score).
