In a historic milestone, viewership of the Women’s NCAA Championship surpassed the men’s final for the first time ever. According to CNN, the women’s game attracted an astonishing four million more viewers than the men’s, and the women’s semi-final drew a larger audience than any 2023 World Series game.
Such remarkable success is a testament to both the exceptional quality of play and the dynamic personalities involved. Caitlin Clark, the likely number one WNBA draft pick, delivered record-breaking performances throughout the year, while Dawn Staley, Head Coach of the University of South Carolina, guided her team to the coveted National Championship.
During the post-game interview, Dawn Staley shared her wisdom on nurturing young talent, saying, “You’ve got to let young people be who they are, yet you’ve got to guide them and navigate them in a way to help them find success.”
We’ve discussed how different generations respond to various coaching and motivation techniques. The tactics that resonated with Generation X may not resonate as effectively with today’s Generation Z (and the soon-to-follow Generation Alpha.)
This weekend, as we gather at the Hun School in Princeton, NJ, for the 22nd iteration of the Alercio Oline Clinic, we’ll heed Coach Staley’s advice and guide our players to the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) they’ll need to excel this fall. We’ll delve into the finer points and nuances of feet placement, body position, visual targets, and strike points while explaining how and why these TTPs lead to success. Furthermore, we’ll prepare, explain, show, observe, and supervise physical execution, as well as teach elements of character, resilience, and mental toughness.
Our program aims to develop both physical and mental tools, offering guidance and a vision for future success both on and off the field for years to come.
Come join us this Sunday! Quite literally, decades of Alercio Oline clinics have proven that players and coaches alike benefit from a day on the field together. With a few spaces still available, you can be a part of this enriching experience, too! (Click here to Download this weekend’s Brochure!)
