Hello Everyone,
I recently started to coach an adult floorball team (I agree that this is not ice hockey but still very similar in the approch of line/strategy/drills managements).
Last year (i was only spectator of this team), i have observed that most of the matches were lost during the first minutes, oftenly trailing by 3 or 4 goals after the end of the first period.
This is what happened during our first game this season, 3-0 after 10min of play, then i called the timeout to reset everything and we were very competitive during the next 50min ending the game 4-1 (so 1-1 in the next 50 min and the opponent did his best during the rest of the match also, we did comeback at 3-1 before taking the 4th goal)
It looks like i have really underestimate this attribute of this team to not start matches correctly even if they can compete , as this is recurent since last year it seems that it's more something related to confidence and mindset than technics and tactics.
Then my question is do you have any experience of similar case of team that doesn't start matches at their level ? even in other sports. And do you have any tips or advice to improve that area ? I'm thinking of adapting warmup drills before the match ? what would you suggest ?
Many thanks!
