So today I had my first official training session with 2 players. One of them didn’t give nearly as much effort as I wanted on a majority of the drills while the other did. The kid that wasn’t giving great effort also seemed to be in his head about all his mistakes. I talked to him throughout the workout and consistently had to show him how the workout was supposed to be done since he was not giving great effort. Towards the end he get better but I was definitely still left a little disappointed. How would you guys have reacted to this situation to make it better? Thanks

A parent told me her son had a foundation of the game. He’s 12. I found out he’s at ground zero. I had to make a pivot in how I incorporated him with the high school players. We worked on shooting mechanics, layups, and foundation drills for dribbling at another goal while the other players played SSG with constraints. The high school players were easy to guide. I’ll definitely have a better game plan for the young lion next session.

Drills and focus for developing a 4 into a 2/3? 6’7 Athletic Nightmare.
