File Your Copy of Your Practice Plan

- Your Notes
- Your Edits
- Your Takeaways
- Best Thing HC Did Today

Make it super clear to read, then come back and compile.

Over the course of a season you will have not only your 💡's but the best of your boss too.
Try To Impact One Person Outside Of Your "Circle" Each Day/Week/Month

Your HC may be the "most connected" + the face of the program.

Try to make an intentional connection with someone outside of your ⭕️. AD, Custodian, Sales Office etc.

When your time comes, they know you.
Watching Game Tape

- Mark when you would have taken a timeout and why.

- Draw Up Your Own ATO/Game Winners per situation.

- Evaluate Your Body Language As An Assistant. Does that transfer to your HC? To being an HC?
Write Down The Things You Like, Don't Like, and Are Necessary About Being An AC.

- When your HC time comes, ask your AC's if they agree.

- If there are things they don't like doing, and aren't necessary, why do them?

- Make Your AC Experience A Pro For Your Staff
Get Everyone's Coffee Order Right

When it's your day 1 on the job, permanently or temporarily, you buy coffee.

You bring it to the morning meeting knowing what each coach takes. 1 Cream. Black, 1 Sugar.

Knowing most coaches, when in doubt, a black coffee.
