Kids nowadays are becoming more athletic. Back then, when I was training to become a basketball player, I was told not to go near weights because it’ll stunt growth or just bad for the young body… is this fear overblown now? And we can take kids to the weight room as long as they are taught properly? What are your thoughts?

What's up fam! Been in Champaign, Illinois working with Women's Guard Maddie Webber the past 2 days. Something I learned / got reassured of BIG time this trip was how important it is to build your development plans in cahoots with the coaching staff / what they expect from their player. It can be as nitty gritty as coming off of zooms ONLY on the left side of the floor. If they will never come off a zoom on the right, you really shouldn't be spending much time on it. I accomplish this by watching all of my players possessions and studying their teams offensive sets and movements. Then I cater to their own individual needs INSIDE of that system. I can't stress this enough... otherwise you are simply wasting the player's time (in most cases). What do y'all think? Is this fair? Or should you try to build more skill outside of the team's system with the player's future in mind. Don't forget to drop a like on this post and comment below with your thoughts!

A parent is watching you work with a player and they are commenting / making faces after EVERY rep. They make a negative face/comment after a miss and a positive reaction after a make. The player looks at them each rep...

I am working on some content... focusing on our @dcbcoaches account. What questions do coaches/trainers want answered the most?
