for coaches at practice?
Anybody do this? We are considering this option to keep everyone on page with our practice plan.
Thoughts?

We are a two platoon team. The thought is to have the practice plan put inside the wrist coach (wc) with the segments of the practice. We either blow the whistle or have a horn when the period ends and we move to the next station. A WC could be used so a coach would know what they are on to next, as well as knowing what the other coaches are doing. Sometimes confusion can arise when the D line wants to go to the sled, but the offense is headed over there. If things are mapped out and put on your wrist it can be managed better. That is the plan anyway. Also, you aren't lugging around a piece in your pocket or flapping off the back of your Bike shorts.

I see what you're talking about regarding the practice plan flying off the clipboard, getting wet, etc. If those are issues for you then the wrist coach sounds like a good idea. As far as usng the sled ... put it down on the practice plan whether its in your shorts or not!

i certainly see the application benefit.....it makes sense.
I know A LOT of coaches who want to wear wrist coaches simply because it looks cool......not saying that is the case here.....just saying
I will say ...practice plans lamenated or sheets printed out and shoved into a plastic binder sleeve work just as well.
heck, fold up a piece of paper so you can write all over it works pretty good, too
now if you are going with the wrist coach, you HAVE to laminate it otherwise its going to crap once you start sweating.
do your players wear wrist coaches in practice?

notes might be
"do NOT put Andreson at 9 tech"
"work double strikes with 30 tech....not getting it"
any note worthy stuff the HC brings up in practice....
drawing stuff up for kids on the sideline.....
whatevers clever.
whatever notes that will help better organize the next day's practice
furthermore,are you willing to type up and laminate wrist cards everyday? that'd be a pain in the butt.

Sheet protectors and a sharpie is the way to go. You can fold it, roll it, or throw it on the ground and stop on it...
If you type up your practice plan you can then revise or add notes to the original you save on your computer for the next year.
Wildcat- classic comment!!!

I just think I want to streamline. Writing something? Don't have time. If something isn't getting done, either do it again or focus on that in team time. Forget notes on the field...that slows down the mojo. Tog - used to do that, but I found myself crinkling up that stuff and the creases made stuff hard to read. Broph - new shoes, new wrist coach, maybe a visor. I might be the coolest guy out there. After all....it's all about cool.

I take my practice plan and fold it "hot dog style" and tuck it right in my waste band. It is cheap and it is very easy to use.
I absolutely do not want to have anything in my hands. I want to be working with the kids and slapping the crap out of the dummies (bags not the kids) and getting all over it.
Translation for you modern Marzano educational NCLB teachers who are loeved and logiced to the max, I like to model positive behavior of what my expectations are so that the student can clearly see what I am teaching and then practice the expected behavior more effectively.

I use the wrist coach for practice plans . . very convenient and keeps the hands free. You don't have to laminate though. We use a triple window type wrist coach, and if you just put an index card in the window closest to your skin, it works as a sweat barrier (our player wrist coaches are set up the same way and it works fine).
