This session details how to establish a model for a team that maximizes clarity and transparency to get the most buy-in and maximum discretionary effort from team members. Given coaches are mostly volunteering - yes, the team may pay your expenses and may also offer some wages - the bottom line is that the team can only reach its full potential when all roles on the team, from players to coaches, are fully bought in and each gives their maximum discretionary effort to the team. Participants to this session will walk away with additional perspective on team architecture, actionable advice, critical conversations to have with the team, to get the most out of the experience for all involved.
Zone, person, force middle, 3-person cup, box-and-one? Come game-time, good coaches and players know a wide range of defensive looks. What makes a great coach and a great team is being able to utilize the right defense at the right time. In this workshop, Robin will share how she makes defensive game plans based on her team’s strengths and scouting the opponent. Great plans don’t always come to fruition, though; Robin will also discuss how she uses real-time stats to influence in-game adjustments. This combination of thoughtful planning and data-driven instant decision-making has been a winning combination for her Superfly team.
Robin has been coaching Stanford Superfly since 2002 and has won five national titles during her time as coach. She is also a former Fury and CTR (Bay Area Mixed) team member. In her other life, she is a first-grade teacher and mom of two boys and a doodle named Strudel.
