The book features 163 specific drills, ranging from very simple to quite complex routines which will challenge the highest level players, categorised in different areas of the game. Each coaching situation is different, depending on the development level and aspirations of the players, the skill of the coach, team rules, style of play and other factors. Therefore, no one set of drills or activities will suit all situations. Coaches have to make judgements about the most appropriate drills and practice activities for their specific environment. Experienced coaches will make their own observations of the game and their coaching situations and develop their own drills and practices best suited to developing their players and teams. The practices detailed in this book lend themselves to a ‘game sense’ approach, where coaches assist players to develop through experience, by asking the players questions and allowing them to make decisions, rather than just directing or telling them what to do. David has more than two decades of experience as an assistant coach at AFL clubs, filling numerous specialist roles, generally in the skill development area. Over that time he has used his outstanding abilities as an analyst and teacher to devise and conduct hundreds of drills and practice activities for that purpose. Drills & Skills is a reflection of that knowledge and experience and will be a very valuable resource in assisting coaches at all levels to plan and conduct effective training sessions.
