Keep Inspiring fellas! The best part of my summer has definitely been being able to work with the little brother. I've worked with 6 year olds up to nba prospects and I have never worked with an athlete as eager to learn and develop as him. He's about 5'10 at 13 and he's super nasty. However, its like I said, its the way he works that is special. He's my best fiend, so to combine that with my biggest passion has been a dream come true, and I couldn't be more grateful!

Aw man I don't know where to start! He's a big guard who can shoot the lights out, and his unique game has made it fun to work with him. We've worked tons on movement and becoming a more dynamic athlete. He's never been stiff, but getting him as smooth, twitchy, and rhythmic as possible has been a big focus. With ball handling We've focused heavily on dribbling through physicality. Using bumps, using our off hand, understanding how to use our body and be composed under pressure. We've also expanded his bag a ton. He picks up on footwork and foreign ball handling concepts super quickly. We studied dylan harper and jalen brunson for awhile, and trained to gain their ability to do hand exchanges through contact and still make ground/keep going downhill. We've also worked a good bit on barkleys, learning to turn drives into post ups when he doesn't get the oppurtunity he wants but has the space to work. We've worked a lot on making his shot more dynamic, and that has come a really long way. He's gotten tons better off the dribble and can now get square and balanced from almost any situation/positioning. Finishing wise we've just built up a lot of the core qualities. Less about repeating specific finishes and more about becoming an adaptable finisher who can solve any given problem. Most of all we have probably worked on defense. He went to ballislife all-american camp at the end of the summer and locked up multiple ranked four and five stars. When he is locked in, he's a really tough player to score on. He now understands how to anticipate on ball and off ball, steal timing, manipulating momentum, defensive leverage, high foot positioning, and has gotten tons better at his cross steps, slides, and hip flips on defense. Sorry for the essay brother, but we've trained almost everyday this summer. Of course thats been accompanied by recovery, yoga, the muscle gun, stretching, film, icing, all the above. The kid told me he wants to make it to the league and sure enough, he is giving it his best shot. He's the best player his age around, but its character that has probably grown the most!

@Nate Dougherty I do! My goal above all is constant refinement and learning, so naturally, I think I could definitely be more intentional and cognizant of some of these "pre-post questions" per se. I find myself not spending too much time on actually creating my content, as I'm often focused on what I am actually doing on the court, and how to best present, teach, and expose the player(s) to concepts and skills. However, sometimes, the case is the opposite. Being honest with myself, there have been times I took smaller concepts and over-expanded on them greatly with voiceovers, editing, and details. I also think there are other times that I've done the opposite. Finding that sweet spot of quick, easily formatted content is going to be a big goal going forward. Most of my teaching embodies the concept of (say more while speaking less), accompanied by quick demonstrations, and to better catch those gems on camera and post them in a way that is quick and informative is something that I think could definitely level me up.

@Daniel Cooper Much love brother! @coach.tet is the insta handle. I would love to tap in with anyone else who might be posting content too. I've been adjusting to my new schedule now that I am working with my college's teams, but I'm confident in my content plan now! Tons of stuff otw!

I love when you do this type of content. I am heavy on using film to inform my workouts, and also to allow the player to see affordances, opportunities, and so forth. Your stuff has been great for me to learn from. When I'm out of team practice this afternoon I'm definitely tapping into this, and I'll lyk my takeaways!

1000% on the things you named. One thing I've learned is, regardless of measurements, playing high level defense and shooting off the catch at a high level will get you and keep you on the floor. I'm super bias, but I believe defense isn't worked on enough. It can most definitely be taught, on a technical level and also through ssg's and live action. If you're already running ssg's, then defense is being worked on, I would just say to supplement that with teaching leverage, on ball footwork, steal timing, how to respond to defender taking high/or low foot, etc. You named the big ones though, so your going to do great, and those kids will definitely get better!
