Art of Practice - Where to Fix Mistakes in Practice - Keegan Kendrick (KY) & Ethan McBride (AL)

On this episode of The Art of Practice presented by GoRout, host Keith Grabowski sits down with Head Coaches Keegan Kendrick (KY) and Ethan McBride (AL) to unpack the science of making effective practice corrections. As part of the Coach and Coordinator Network, this discussion shifts the focus from simply practicing more to coaching smarter. The coaches share actionable frameworks for knowing when to correct an error in the moment and when to save it for the film room. This ensures practice tempo is not sacrificed for valuable teaching moments. They also discuss how to scaffold playbook knowledge for different age groups, promote organic player-led communication, and use modern tools like GoRout to eliminate operational friction on the field. If you want to maximize your weekly practice efficiency alongside developing confident, self-sufficient decision-makers by Friday night, this interview provides a practical blueprint for doing just that.
