1) "What did you (teacher) do when you quit worrying about controlling the drill with your whistle?"

I think I would stop focusing on when to whiste and on what the kids were doing?

2) "What did the kids do when you quit blowing your whistle? How did it affect the kids?"

Kids allso would stop to focusing on the whistle, they would observe more what's going on when there is some visual mark to start?

I do some times use whistle in my drillsspecially when they are new to players. like to use drills that activates as many player as possible. So it's kind of safety issue at first. But when the drill is familiar to players, I lose the whistle.

Actually I've really cut down the amount of drills we do. I use few good passing drills where we can get much repetition. But other than that they are waste of time.
