I’m a big believer that kids should play multiple sports instead of specializing early. I know some people disagree and think they should focus on just one. What are your thoughts on this? And if you agree with multi-sport development, which sport do you think translates best to basketball?

Now i want everybody to really take a second & Be honest with yourself… Yes A lot of sessions LOOK good: - Fancy cone drills - Crazy combo moves - Nonstop movement …but how much of that actually shows up & translates in a real game? I’ve been thinking about this heavy lately. There’s a difference between: Players leaving a session tired vs Players leaving a session actually BETTER So here is my real question: How do YOU make sure your workouts translate to real game situations? Is it: - Small-sided games? - Constraints? - Live reads? - Film work? - Something else? Or do you feel like most trainers (be honest) are just running workouts that look good on camera? 👇 Drop your thoughts — and if you disagree with something in here, even better… let’s talk about it.

How can I become a better defender?

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!
