Most NFL teams equip their players with tablet computers to take notes about planned plays. So the players store everything they need and learn.
First year Brown coach Mike Pettene made sure the players also got a pad and a pencil. The coaching staff is stressing the old school notion of writing things down. The strategy is based on a new study that shows writing by hand instead of typing improves ones chances of learning something.
A fleeting idea doesn’t leave a strong trace, but taking notes helps us remember better, because we need to put the fresh idea into our own words which helps us remember much better than if we just had a fleeting thought.
So the theory of the Browns’ coaching staff is if they make things too easy the players simply will not remember it.
So let the season begin.
And what of this sentence from the WSJ.
“There’s a fine line between
A bemused smile
And a superior smirk”.
