Question 21 of 30

What does a typical day at practice look like for you?

The interviewer wants to know about your practice plans and what the players will be doing on a regular day. A great way to prepare for this question is to bring one or two sample practice plans that you've done before. This will give the interviewer a visual of different drills you'll be doing with the players, along side showing the interviewer you are organized and prepared for practices.

It is okay if you don't have a sample practice plan with you, you can also just talk the interviewer through a typical. You can talk about warm up activities, drills, position skill development, cool down, etc. If there is something different that is interesting that you do with your team, that isn't very typical, be sure to mention it. Once a week do you have a different player pick a drill , whatever it is always mention fun things that make you stand out.

      Answer Example

      "I like to start every practice with a warm up run and player led stretches. I generally pick a new warm up game like Queen of the Court to get the players energized for practice. Then I'll dive into individual and group drills to improve performance. I have a sample outline of a practice plan that you'd love to show you."

      "We do a warm-up and stretch everyday. I also have warm-up ball control drills. Sometimes, girls come in at different times because of scheduling and they know what drills we have to do. We move on to the full team practice, targeting what the team is lacking."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Great! It seems that you are well organized and consistent - allowing your players to understand ahead of time what is expected of them. When it comes to this future position, do you plan to implement a similar practice regime? It may be a good idea to segue your answer into a discussion on how you will approach this new coaching position.
