Teaching something for the first time

I had the kids in my trig class do a project today. We spent the entire hour and a half doing something that should have taken 45 minutes. What is interesting to me, is that everything always works this way. Whenever I do something new, it takes way too long and everyone screws it up.

It's the same way with the basketball team. If I want to put a play in or run a new defense, I have to teach it to the girls at least two games before we need it. I can't make up a play in a timeout and expect them to run it correctly.

So today we are going to work on a zone offense for our game next Tuesday.
