COACHES - A THREAD...

Like many of you, I have recently participated in countless online clinics.

I learned A LOT.

I posted notes & developed some of the best conversations with coaches I’ve ever had!

Many Twitter/email conversations, and even quite a few Zooms.. 1/14
So - I’ve decided to collect all of those clinic ideas/notes into one thread for you!

This is not all of the clinics that I learned from - but some of my favorites.

DM me for copies of my notes on any of them. I’d also love to connect with anyone on any of these ideas...

While I tweet mostly on leadership and building relationships with students/players..

I feel like my greatest strength as a coach, teacher, and leader is LEARNING.

Really just trying to LEARN OUTLOUD and simply want to share my learning with you!

Enjoy!

First, from @lono610 on Decision-Making Drills and Concepts.

The importance of teaching VISION and creating the best learning environment for your players!

4/14
The 4 stages of Habit-Building from @Topp33

An adaptation of one of my favorite leadership tools made to fit a player development model.

I added my insight on the Role of the Coach in each stage based on my experience on mentorship.

A fantastic talk from @CoachYak on Building and Sustaining a Defensive Culture.

He also used a lot of language of ALIGNMENT in building your identity.

So - I doodled this visual to accompany how he thought about building defense.

Implementing Tagging Up from @JamesJanssen

Displayed some great evidence-based thinking on the process of @DavidsonWBB tagging up this year.

Teaching GOLD on how the value of a system like “tagging up” is to LIMIT THE GRAY for your players in making their decisions.

7/14
Clarifying Offensive Identity from @coachcascio

Again used a lot of alignment language and emphasized the importance of keeping your players’ decisions simple!

“Don’t install an offense - it’s a style of play.”

5-Out Motion offense uses at @SwatMBasketball by @LandryKosmalski

Great insight on the numbers system and accompanying drills they do everyday!

Also led to the most discussions!

9/14
Disruptive NBA Defense Ideas you can apply from @coachkissi

Provided ideas that any team can do that will work at any level!

Denying the primary ball-handler and what I call “tactical pressure” are a couple of the ideas!!

Another great talk from @JamesJanssen on how to connect your VISION to your TACTICS.

He takes you through the process of determining your style of play to deciding “so what should I do in practice today?”

Fantastic clinic from @DLphyed on their “Circle of Offense”. Not many coaches teach players “how to play” BETTER than what they do @GBBKimberly

Great insight on implementing a fully envisioned offensive system and identity centered on SPACE and teaching SKILL.
