ASHBURN, VA?Discouraged by player performance during workouts, drills, meetings, and stretching exercises, head coach Mike Shanahan canceled the Redskins' remaining 2010?2011 practices Wednesday, conceding that no amount of training could possibly improve the team. "I'm just wasting their time and mine by making them show up," Shanahan told reporters Wednesday. "It's important to know your players' limitations and realize that nobody is going to learn the playbook, pay attention to basic instructions, or avoid injuries when putting on their pads. We're done." Shanahan reportedly came to his decision after witnessing an exhausted Redskins player decide to do the rest of a sit-up later.

Wow!

Any coaches here? Have you ever tried that tactic? These are American players...NOT Asian students. In the Asian community, parents and teachers often pull this sort of reverse psychology on their students in hope they will show up to class next time ready to learn.

Good tactic in high school, would imagine most of these guys are on their charter jets by now:sadwave: Sports are simply a reflection of society, people wanting something for nothing.

Over the years Shanahan has shown enough to me that I don't question any of his tactics....especially during the preseason.

i dont' even think that was completely true especially in the nfl.

BUT-as a coach myself, you don't cancel practice, unless you you planned to do it in the 1st place.
the language was just motivation. He might of had all his key guys injured and all his second team guys /practice/cute guys defense guys had to play vs. 1st team offense any, so he was like this pointless

Preseason is too crazy imo, if they did more walk through/playbook practices, there would be less injuries...etc

i think in hs, you would need more practice instead of professionals who are in shape and know for the most part what they have to do to succeed on a high level. kids (college and high school can be motivated). Professionals are motivated by performance which leads to money. Kids are motivated by success period.

You are right and I should have clarified, I meant cancel practice for a day or throw them off the field for a day. Obviously they would get no better by never practicing, didnt mean it the way it came out sorry. H.S. kids respond to that but I cant see pros doing the same.
