Being an offensive coach I have always preached execution through repetition to my kids. I was lsitening to the Mark & Brian morning show on Friday and they were talking about how in the Phillipines one warden uses the same philosophy with his prisoners. He has them do a variety of different dance routines to teach teamwork (just working out is an individualist endeavour) and to keep the inmates in shape.
Here is the link to the Flipino inmates dance routine of "Thriller".

I'd be afraid to find out which one of my guys wanted to be the girl. Probably a wide receiver.

in a similar vane, utilizing off-season workouts as an opportunity to teach martial arts (disicpline, footwork, confidence building)
it isn't just about learning movements (forms) but precise applications of force.
but about execution......yeah, it works the same on the other side of the ball, despite contrary beliefs.

i think it is important as a coach to understand what can happen when a group of individuals can become submissive to a greater ideal such as these inmates didto accomplish this and all the other things they did. The focus was less on the individual and more on the group. LOVE IT (men on films style)

Id like to see the inmates use teamwork to dig ditches and bury road kill.
