When implementing the games, a coach’s role is to:

Set up the game and its rules

Decide what questions to ask the 
            athletes so they can learn about
            a particular aspect of their
            performance.

The ‘art’ is selecting or designing purposeful games that work on options and situations based on the needs of the athletes, knowing when to stop and problem solve with the athletes and when to just let them continue, so they learn on their own.
