I coach middle and high school teams. To keep them focused I rely on benchmarks and goals while trying to avoid the problem of setting the bar to high. For example, I tell them that they know they have put in a very good workout if they have done eight climbs within our two hour practice.
Recognizing distractions and redirecting attention is a focus in my coaching. You'll see people do a lot of different things to "get out of" actual climbing (subconsiously) i.e. route building, hot dog dyno play and other interesting things.
As a coach, what are your goals? Who will you be coaching? How many will you coaching at a time?
