What is the best way to use and implement the curriculum?

First: Ask yourself how much time do I have each week to devote to 2Words?

Our Athletics Schedule is very tight:
  • Read the quotes of the day, everyday and have them posted where your athletes will see them (locker room, field house, weight room, etc). 
  • Make sure your coaches are aware the “3 Things to Look out For” and are reinforcing those traits throughout the week.
  • Print out, or upload the content to a LMS (Google Classroom, Schoology, etc) and assign your athletes a week at a time.
  • At the end of the week, during warm-up stretching or cool downs, have 2-3 athletes and a coach share what the lesson meant to them.

I have about 10-15 minutes a week:
  • Read through the Coaches page on “3 Things to Look Our For” and reinforce those traits with your athletes throughout the week. 
  • Watch the video lesson on Monday (or on your day of choice).
  • Read and post the quote of the day, every day
  • Make the captains and athletes page available on a LMS (Google Classroom, Schoology, etc) or print it out for athletes to take home and review on their own time

I have 10 minutes a day or 30-40 minutes a week:
  • Read the quote of the day every dat. Read through the Coaches page on “3 Things to Look Our For” and reinforce those traits throughout the week
  • DAY 1: Watch the video lesson
  • DAY 2: Split into position groups or small groups. Complete the athletes page
  • DAY 3: Split into position groups or small groups. Complete the captains page
  • DAY 4: Have 3 athletes share, for 3 minutes each, what the lesson meant for them

I have 15-25 minutes a day:
  • DAY 1: Watch the curriculum video on your day of choice. Have a coach share their thoughts on the video lesson.
  • DAY 2: Split into position groups or small groups. Complete the athletes page and have a representative from each group share with the whole group.
  • DAY 3: Split into position groups or small groups. Complete the captains page and have a representative from each group share with the whole group.
  • DAY 4: Have 2-3 students and 1 coach share what they learned this week/ what they are working on/ how they are challenging themselves/ etc. Have the coach share anything contextual to the team.
  • DAY 5 (optional): In small groups, or as a whole group, complete the family page together (replace family language with team language).
