The 15-Minute Feedback Rule

STATUS: DRAFT

Most coaches make analysis too complicated. They think more data equals better coaching. Wrong.

Your players can only absorb so much. After 15 minutes, they switch off. You’ve lost them.

Here’s What Works

Maximum 3 coaching points per session:

• One defensive moment
• One attacking moment
• One transition moment

The Good-Poor-Good Structure

1. Show good example (builds confidence)
2. Show poor example (highlights problem)
3. Show good example again (reinforces solution)

Your Video Feedback Template

1. Set the scene (10 seconds context)
2. Play clip at normal speed
3. Break it down (pause, highlight, explain)
4. Play again at normal speed
5. Link to next training session

Key Coaching Points Selection

Pick moments that connect directly to your team’s biggest performance gaps. If your 5-minute diagnostic showed poor possession retention, every clip should relate to keeping the ball.
