End your training sessions and practices with a WIN! Planning too much "stuff" in one practice is a sure way to eliminate wins. Concentrate on a few exercises and skills so the athletes can learn and remember the information. Always have a primary focus for the day and sprinkle in the secondary focus when appropriate.

Being on your toes is wrong!
We have to stop telling players to get off their heels and way up on the balls of their feet. This position causes slower movements during COD and increases ankle sprains. The weight should be toward the ball of the foot with the heels down so the ankle is dorsiflexed.
Listen in to learn why.

How do you build a powerful basketball program without using AAU? Here is the 4-step system I have used for years to build a strong high school program.

I hate when coaches make players run lines for honest mistakes. Why is attempting to make the correct decision but executed wrong, missing a shot, or making a turnover punishable by running lines? Punishment for these types of errors is what takes away confidence and creativity. There are many more effective ways to handle on-court mistakes and keep the players' confidence and performance headed in the right direction.

I will make many people mad, especially in the Physical Education World, but the Beep Test needs to go!
It teaches horrible running form, tells us what we already know- kids are not in shape. Coaches will use it to test conditioning and often never use it again. Let kids get in shape by playing small-sided basketball games, fast full-court drills, and scrimmages- Bingo!

A coach's most significant role is to build a strong program from the feeder system through the varsity level. If not, the program will never be consistent.

It's tough to define a solid reason why NOT to strength training. It benefits in so many ways, and not being strong is showcased when seen—improvement of performance, reduction in potential injury, ability to withstand high force, and produce high forces. Strength Training scares people because it's often depicted as powerlifting. It isn't, and I'm going to share why. Listen In!

There is way too much skill work going on for too long without live-action. Live-action teaches us if players are transferring the skill to game action usability. In the early stages, using a no-defense strategy to learn the skill is the way to go; however, the defense quickly must be included.

It's sloppy coaching not to use specific or direct words to help athletes and other coaches understand what you want. When we use very general words, but the situation demands specific terms, we create confusion. This short but powerful message will improve your player to player, coach to player, and coach to coach communication.

This is a huge rant of mine—kids who are being punished because of low GPAs in schools and can't play basketball. If kids are simply not completing the work, exhibit poor behavior, and cause issues- then, by all means, they should be dealt with sternly. However, many students learn differently to have an arbitrary GPA dictating whether they can participate in sports. If coaches are unwilling to find out why their students are struggling, stop coaching or get rid of a GPA system.

Nothing infuriates me more than parents who yell, scream and belittle their youngsters when teaching them basketball. It is such abusive, irresponsible, and punishable behavior. We have to continue the education and mass marketing to get these parents to realize their lifelong damage to their children by constantly verbally abusing them when teaching them basketball.

When coaching on-ball defense, you have to find players that are okay with getting beat now and again- and still willing to get back in the game and fight. Tactically, you have to support aggressive on-ball defense with smart help defenders who can take away penetration and rotate to help kick-out passes. Practicing on-ball defense is a must if you want players to know their options.
