When I decided to move to a conceptual offense this season, my research led me to SAVI, and their philosophies immediately resonated with me. I started as a monthly member but quickly bit the bullet and upgraded to an annual membership—and it has completely transformed my program. Last year, my practices lacked structure, and I rarely used small sided games nor used constraints in any of our games/drills. This year, by implementing SAVI's 4-quarter practice plan and the layered teaching concepts of the RDS system, our practices are structured in a far better way, and our players are getting significantly more quality reps tailored to their strengths. The proof is in the results: we finished last season with a record of 12-20, but halfway through our current season, we are already 12-7 and competing at a much higher level. The free community is a great starting point, but unlocking the premium membership is where the real transformation happens. Beyond the deep-dive X’s and O’s, the premium community of coaches is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge, and @Mark Cascio, @Tyler Coston and @Clare Murphy are absolute diamonds who are always accessible and willing to help. If you are sitting on the fence about upgrading, stop hesitating. Look at it as a direct investment in your coaching growth and your team’s success rather than an expense. The structure, elite resources, and immediate impact on winning habits make the premium membership worth every single penny.

This month, I want to share a different approach to RDS. Don't worry, everything we've taught still works, and if you're happy with how you're running it, keep going. It's a flavor of RDS for coaches who want more ways to create advantages, especially off the ball. More cutting. More screening. More ball movement. More player movement. But, with all the modern concepts that RDS gives you. The foundation of RDS stays the same. Think Bob Knight and Nate Oats had an offensive child. If you've been looking for ways to create more offense without relying too heavily on drive and kick, I think you're going to enjoy this approach. 🎥 I'll be breaking it down during today's FREE Consulting Call. 🗓️ Today at 5:30 PM CST. See you there. 👇 If you could add one thing to your offense next season, what would it be: more cutting, more screening, better spacing, or something else?
