Step 1 – Decide on your goal

RECOMMENDED: Coach Free Goal Setting

Step 2 – Increase your endurance

Step 3 – Build up your strength

Get help from a professional (older athlete, coach, trainer, OR instruction video an adult help’s pick out) to learn 3 strength exercises to do for the next month.

RECOMMENDED: Strength Demo

Step 4 – Drill for skill

Pick a skill to train for AND check (coach, gym teacher, older athlete, book/online instructions) for a trusted drill to do for the next month to improve your skill.

RECOMMENDED: Skill Drill Cards

Step 5 – Practice, practice, practice!

Make and follow a month long plan that does all three activities (endurance, strength, AND skill drill) at least twice a week AND review (discuss with professional, write top 10 tip list, OR make a short video/slideshow for younger scouts) at the end of the month.

RECOMMENDED: Practice Plan Review
