Practice Plan
What it is?
Practice Plan focuses on daily coaching habits. It empowers coaches to intentionally embed mental skills—like goal setting, focus, and emotional recovery—into training sessions, helping athletes and coaches alike prepare more effectively for competition.
Practice Plan focuses on how coaches design daily routines and embed mental skills into training. It’s the bridge between planning and performance.
Why is it important?
Coaches often prioritize physical and tactical preparation, but the best coaches also embed mental training into daily practice. By planning sessions that address focus, communication, emotional control, and mindset, coaches help athletes transfer psychological skills into game situations. It’s where theory becomes routine and growth becomes automatic.
