Coaching Outside the Box: Applying the 20/80 Rule to practice planning - Jonathan Basti - Sacred Heart University

Using new ideas to teach the fundamentals of your program

The 20/80 Rule

• The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes roughly 80% of the consequences come from 20% of the causes
• Everything you do has a purpose, what is the focus for each drill, each practice, each week
• The same drill can have multiple purposes
• Concept based vs Set based
  • Order out of chaos
  • comfortable being uncomfortable

The Rondo (Lacrosse Style)

• The rondo is the basic mindset of any offensive or defensive principle
• a soccer drill
• They have taken the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5sIKJ1Guk soccer drills

5/6 Lines Perimeter passing A realistic stickwork drill that is meant to simulate actual dodging hard, clearing space for the ball carrier, moving the ball on the run

• players will move the ball to every other line, but will run to the adjacent lines
• The adjacent guy will clear through/set picks to the line where the ball comes from
• You can add a 6th line to simulate the action of a crease guy or "open" concepts

4 on 0 ground ball drill

• Everyone starts at the top right, 3 guys hustle to adjacent spot, first guy in line picks it up
• get ground ball, move it, move it, move it, shoot
• Teaches the other 3 guys to get into a passing lane and finish
• First pass must be adjacent, next passes can skip etc
• Rotate at each corner of the field and continue
