Alright, I've got a problem.
My J.V. squad, loaded with a lot of Freshman, is too smart for their own good I believe. They over analyze every situation. As much as I try to keep it simple stupid, it doesn't seem to work. They ask me about the "what if's". I tell them not to worry now-a-days since the things they worry about won't happen at this level, but by their play on the field it is quite evident over thinking is still going on. We only have 4-5 base runs. We may run 4-5 passes since we have an efficient passing QB. Its supposed to be the easy stuff!
Its a very talented and bright group, but they are simply way too smart for their own good. Any ideas on how to "dumb" down the play on the field? I've taken away checks and other ideas. And to be honest, our offense (Offset I formation) is not complicated.
Any help would be appreciated. I find myself saying K.I.S.S. and "If your thinking, your stinking" way too often.
On a side note, its a "good" problem to have. But still.
