As a High School Varsity Coach we usually have but ten minutes for halftime. Well it is ten minutes unless you subtract two or three minutes to get to the end of the field or where you might meet as a team. And don’t forget we lose another two to three minutes to get warmed up for the second half. So ten minutes quickly erodes into but four or five minutes maximum in real time to prepare to get ahead, or stay ahead. What are you going to do? Do you have a plan?

I am not necessarily recommending that you adopt our plan, that would be presumptuous. But I believe I can argue strongly that in order to maximize your effectiveness you need to have a plan, be organized, in order to be successful. Why is it that most coaches will schedule out practices to the minute yet do not have a defined plan of attack for halftime. I must be missing something.
