Module 4: Injury prevention
A flag before an important match
The topic
The programme asks coaches to tell athletes and staff how the system works before the first flag fires, so that an orange flag is read as modify, not punish. The test comes when one fires before a match that matters. In the programme's basketball case the conditioning volume was cut and the match minutes were left alone, and the player kept reporting honestly. Share how you handle it.
Questions to start from
- How did you explain to your squad what a flag means?
- What is your rule when a flag fires before an important match?
