Priority: Engagement

Q1: Reflection

As we continue to evolve, we are going to dive deep into OFFENSE through the lens of our four ESSENTIAL priorities.

We begin tonight by looking at and discussing ENGAGEMENT as it relates to our offense.

Q2: Awareness

Engagement isn’t just the individual habits with the ball or in anticipation of receiving the ball.

There has to be more to it — players may not ever even touch the ball, whether by design or position depending on the sport.

Q3: Clarity

Clarity is the differentiating factor between engaged and disengaged.

We’ve defined both, so now the natural progression here is how to talk about it, teach it, and create connected players who play engaged offense.

Q4: Alignment

It’s all good if you know what engaged offense is, but you’re also not the one playing.

Spreading the good word and embedding this every day is the mission.

Getting there IS “the process.”

Use A4 & #ecRACAchat in your answers.

Q5: Congruence

Congruence = success.

Did we do what we said we were going to do, when we were going to do it?

Further — avoiding disconnection from adding too much “stuff,” is a major concern here.
