PRE-Game Conference

[JBleach85]

I try to always do a pre-game with my partner before a game at the Freshman or JV level. Normally those game you have enough time before game time to do a few thing to make sure you are both on the same page. When I do JV games I always try to do a pre-game. Even if I am doing two games before that and I am switching partners for the JV game I will try to do it either before we come out onto the floor, or even taking about 3 to 5 minutes while standing out on the floor talking. I found this to be very benificial when teams don't come out until like 11 minutes until game time. It gives me a chance to talk to my partner and allows us to see what match-ups we might have if either of us has had either team before.

There was only one time I was unable to do a pregame and that was because my partner showed up 10 minutes before game time and we really didn't have a chance to do it. That game was actually a good game, we worked before so we knew each others tendencies but still having a pre-game makes a difference no matter what type of game you have.

I'm out,
JB
