Winning Close Games

"You must be prepared to be a winner." -- John Wooden

Winning of "BIG" games and championships are not a matter of chance. They are a result of being prepared down to the smallest detailed. Be sure to use the scoreboard clock to include offensive and defensive end of game situations in your practices. Do not ever expect your players to execute anything during a game that you have not covered in practice.
