Season Planner

In the next few months I'll share what I'm working on in terms of planning, philosophy building, and clarifying what I'm trying to do coaching wise. The next step in my coaching evolution (imo) is being able to A: Clearly express my goals, philosophies and expectations to adults who I need to support my program or potential program (parents, ad's, developmental level coaches, assistant coaches) B: Having a plan in place for teaching, behaving and designing what we do as a program to have everything align.  To do each of these I need a clear plan for what I want and where I want to go, so I can express better what it is and how we need to get there.

So for your dissection is my season plan from this year. Nothing in here is a secret so feel free to ask questions or give me feedback. First I layout all the skills I want to teach. Then I divide up what we cover when in to periods in the season. Thanks.
