I heard a great quote attributed to Montana coach Terry Hamilton.
When you walk into any gym, the best coach is the one who has all the mats.
I resemble that remark. If you turn your back for a second, I will steal your mats. The more the better.

Haha. So true.
I’ve gotten in trouble more than a few times for taking other’s mats. But it’s mostly from my ADD/impulsivity tendencies.
I think what makes mats really effective in running a practice session is that they act as markers, reminders, for the drills assigned:
* Oh, on this cheese mat we do this
* On this panel mat we do this
* On this wall and panel mat we do this,etc.
I have drills that require no mats, but by the time the kids get to that area they forget all about it. Chalk markers work, sometimes.
