Set-up
Static stretches as a group in a circle. Coach leads — every player names one thing they want to improve this season. Light, no judgment. Sets the tone that this is a thinking squad.
Coaching points
- Everyone speaks — no exceptions, no passengers
- Coach listens and remembers; these are your coaching threads
- Keep it relaxed; day one, legs are tired
Progressions
- Revisit this circle mid-camp to check in on stated goals
- Use comments as basis for targeted 1-to-1 conversations this week
