Like the Pros

How Like the Pros works
Every Like the Pros post is built so you can teach a professional system at your next practice, not just watch a clip.
- 1. Watch the play. Open a Like the Pros breakdown and watch the professional clip so you see the system at game speed.
- 2. Study the structure. Read the formation, player responsibilities, and teaching points so you can explain the why, not just the diagram.
- 3. Install it at practice. Add the drills and practice plan to your GAME4 library, then run the same reps with your team.
