Some notes from a master coaching class:
Don't do anything in practice you can't actualize in a game.
Lots of players act like they are trying. They do enough to seem like they are fitting in but they are not going full out. Help players get beyond the social norms of the team.
Connect players to what goes into every game: (fans, parents, admin. gear, gym time, relationships, effort). All these things make it possible for us to play the game. How can we not play hard?
What should we be doing today to help us win tomorrow?
