Question from Al:
I'm having problems getting my players to play more physical and create contact. They often shy away from the contact. Is there anything to fix this?

Al,

If you're referring to post players making contact and not fading away, then yes I have a suggestion. It actually came up during the Don Kelbick interview:

Just after the 36 minute mark of the interview, Don says that footwork is the key to getting inside players to make contact. Most coaches yell at their players to make contact and be strong. But the problem lies in their footwork. Most coaches neglect to look at their feet. You might want to listen to the interview and also check out this page about post moves:

Let me know if I misunderstood the question.

Jeff
