Eliot Smith explains that during the first three Mondays at the beginning of each season, the first 30 minutes of practice are dedicated to meeting with all the players and coaches. The players meet in the gym, and the coaches meet in a classroom. The player sessions focus on character, being a good teammate, and adversity. The coaches’ sessions focus on how to treat your athletes, how you will be remembered, and always remembering that you are a role model.
