We suffered our second loss in a very tight match against Danish opposition. It helped highlight some developmental needs in defense and transition.
Does your eagerness to get on to playing the next match depend on your last result? Do you want to keep playing after a win, but train more after a loss?
When I coached in Sweden a reporter once gave our opposition some locker room material by suggesting that we expected to win our match 3-0 or 3-1. Ugh!
Guest players at training was a fairly regular occurrence when I coached in Sweden. There are different types, though, each with their own considerations.
Once, back in my Sweden coaching days, a reporter asked me if I was getting a sense of deja vu as our match unfolded. I honestly told him I wasn't.
A week working on some new offensive options paid some match benefits, but with some other developments.
I can't help but feel I was a victim of Big Game Syndrome in the preparation for one of our league matches once while coaching in Sweden.
When I coached in Sweden I periodically had some of the local parents coming to our training sessions. They had a grand old time watching the team at work.
Sometimes you don't have much choice but to bring back some old school tools to be able to do the analysis you need to get done.
