Coaches: Get More Out of Your Players

This playbook is for Coaches of older Club teams, as well as high school and college coaches. Be sure to review all coaches’ Benefits.

• If you are in-season, run the Dream BIG! Challenge at your next practice. The older your players, the more “they” should organize/run the Challenge, not you.
• If the season is about to start, or you have tryouts, have the Dream BIG! Challenge be your first interaction with the kids. You will collect very valuable information about the players.
• If the Challenge was enthusiastically received, share your vision for the season (FUNdraising, Mentoring Program) and the roles all players will play.
• If there is player buy-in, let the learning, improvement, and FUN begin.

Contact Instepper when you have received buy-in or would like help with the introduction. We have a more detailed Playbook available.
