THE 5C’S OF OTB
At OTB we believe that to become an outstanding player an individual must have the competence and confidence to do the things required of her/him by his/her coach, his/her teammates, and by him/herself. The OTB Training System helps players achieve the highest level of individual confidence and competence in this game by emphasizing the 5C’s in every OTB session.
Conditioning +Control + Composure= COMPETENCE & CONFIDENCE
COMPETENCE: The ability to know what to do, how to do it and when/why to do it.
CONFIDENCE: The belief in your abilities to do what you need to do.
CONDITIONING: Players must be physically willing and able to meet the rigorous physical demands of this game. OTB sessions push players to their physical limits as all OTB exercises require movements at speed.
CONTROL: Players must be able to control the ball…FIRST TOUCH IS EVERYTHING!! OTB’s consistent small ball delivery system helps accelerates muscle memory and first touch control.
COMPOSURE: Players must be able to execute their given task under mental/physical pressure and load. OTB exercises provide inherent pressure through high frequency ball deliveries and game specific objectives.
