Protecting Your Identity When the Film is Bad: Coordinator Decision-Making.

Every coordinator has been there.

You watch the film after a tough game and it doesn’t look like your team. The pressure to “change something” kicks in — new formations, new plays, new answers.

But most of the time, the problem isn’t the system. It’s how decisions are made after bad film.

This clinic focuses on one of the most important — and least taught — skills in coaching: protecting identity and decision clarity during adversity.

Inside this course, you’ll learn:

• Why bad film creates false urgency
• How to separate correction from change
• The most common overreactions coordinators make
• How instability spreads from staff room to players
• The Game-Week Decision Filter
• How practice and meetings should reflect weekly emphasis
• Decision timing and the Two-Week Rule
• How strong coordinators protect identity when it’s hardest

This is not a scheme clinic. It’s a leadership and decision-making framework designed to help coordinators stay steady, protect structure, and guide their team through tough weeks without losing who they are.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to redesign after one bad night, this course gives you the tools to respond with clarity instead of emotion.
