Learn from a Possession on Film

Watch a short clip for choices rather than blame.

When to use it

Use with a coach or approved team video; follow the program’s privacy rules.

Put It into Practice

  1. Choose one possession and watch it once without pausing. Describe where the space, ball and teammates were before judging the outcome.
  2. Pause at one decision. Name two options the player could reasonably see from that position; the camera’s view may reveal more than the player could.
  3. Choose one idea to test at practice. Keep the clip within the approved group and do not post teammates’ mistakes or add humiliating commentary.

What It Can Look Like

A turnover clip becomes a conversation about a passing window rather than a label about the passer.

Take it with you: Film is a learning aid, not a public trial of a teammate.
