What to get right in the Pre-Season: 5 Minutes with Bo Hanson

Today we’re going to talk about the pre-season and the importance of getting some really critical aspects right. A lot of our clients here in Australia are embarking on yet another pre-season within the football codes and various other sports. One of the things we often talk about in regards to the pre-season is that it is a unique opportunity to set a framework that is going to see out your entire season. I’m always a big believer, whenever I do a presentation, I often do an exercise and we start by getting everyone on the same page by getting everyone to stand up and clap above their head. You really only get one opportunity to do that and essentially that’s what the pre-season is about.

Coaching to Change Athlete Technique: 5 Minutes with Bo Hanson

Welcome to this week’s video series. One of the most critical roles that any coach has is creating change in their athletes. That is, understanding how change is created and understanding how your athletes actually manage that change. There is a model that I always come back to and it’s quite a simple model. The purpose of this video today is to actually explain and articulate what the steps in the process are in this model. So we call this model the ‘D x V x P’ Model. Ultimately, what we’re describing here is three mechanisms – three key points we have to hit on to create change in our athletes whether that change relates to the athletes’ technique or any other behavioral change that you might have in mind for that player.

One Element: 5 Minutes with Bo Hanson

Today we’re going to talk to you about a concept which we call “The One Element” concept. Now this is something that I’ve noticed when we look at all of the teams that we’ve worked with now, more than 40 different sports, 700 teams, more than 22 thousand coaches, athletes, officials and people who are very good at what they do. What we’ve noticed is that these individuals and these teams, when you ask them “What is it that makes you as good as you are?” A lot of them are able to say, “Well we do a lot things well but really THIS is the key thing that we do well.” So they’re able to break down all of the things they do well into one absolutely core element that we call the One Element factor.
