with Beth Bozman,Duke University Head Coach,member of the NFHCA Hall of Fame (2008),finishing as the national runner-up in three of those occasions,over 300 career victories!Step onto the field with this All-Access inside look into Beth Bozman"s Duke Field Hockey Team as she welcomes you to a series of three practices where you get to see all the workings of a championship program.In the first practice, Bozman"s team has just come off two games over the weekend followed by a off-day, so Bozman leads them through a more vigorous practice aimed at conditioning and skill work. Jeff Houser, the speed and agility coach at Duke (and a former Olympian), starts the practice with an anerobic threshold conditioning workout, which builds up the players" staminia.Next, Bozman switches to skill work, running a 3-station ball support drill, passing, and shooting drills that incorporate a ball lift to develop soft hands on the receiving end before the shot. Moving to defense, Bozman runs a defense drill that reinforces pushing the attacker to the hash marks, which will give the defense a chance to recover and organize. The drill starts 1v1, then moves to 2v2 allowing the defense to work on reading the lead attack player. You will hear Bozman pass along coaching tips and strategies for the defense, as well as for the offense that will lead to corner opportunities.Bozman runs a 3v2 No Touch game reinforcing tracking skills and getting to the low defender as quick as possible. The goal is to develop sharp passing combinations to isolate the defense and create more 2-on-1 situations in games.A skeleton passing drill closes practice. This drill sharpens cutting patterns and ball pace.In the second practice, the team is led through more team drills that incorporate game play into the practice. This prepares the players for games both physically and mentally.
