Coaches,
I am sure most of you do this but I just did it this year. Our season ended on November 7th (My first year at the school). I gave the players a week off just to recover and kind of get away. The following week on my door at school I had a schedule for ALL player to meet with me for 10 minutes. It started at 2:30 PM and went to 5:00 PM all that week (If any kid had a conflict I would make a time to see them as well).
Out of all of this kids in my program I met with 95% of them. The meetings focused on the following: 1. Past seasons performance 2. Off-Season expectations (I would pull out their lifting totals / max lifts from August). 3. 2009 Expectations (Position/depth chart/level....).
The kids walked away knowing what my expectations were. We start our lifting program today the Monday after T-Giving. I just feel like the kids are really on board with what we want from them and what we expect.
At my prior school I did this in an informal way, this was much more formal and only open to kids that were on the 2008 roster.

we have done it the last few years and it has been a very positive experience. we help the kids set goals for the upcoming off season as far as lifting and grades and we check with them every so often and update their goals if we need to. it's a great time to boost a kids confidence or give some a reality check if they need it
