Want to be a leader that doesn't need to:

• yell
• scream &
• reprimand

...to bring out the best in your players?

Many don't think it's possible.

It is. 🧵👇
Culture First.

Leaders create positive team cultures & ensure every action is in alignment with their core values.

Southwest Air decided not to charge baggage fees bc it wouldn't align with their culture of providing friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel.
Don't talk about it, be about it.

If you're going to show them the way and talk about the way...

...then you must live the way.

7 things college coaches hate when recruiting players.🧵👇
1. Allergic to defense

Some things fluctuate game to game & college coaches understand this.

But effort, communication & pride defensively aren’t on that list.

Actually, taking pride in defense will get you noticed & could be a separator when compared to your competition.
2. Bad teammate, un-coachable, poor body language

“Your words talk to me, your actions scream at me.”

There's lots of good players out there & most coaches will move on to the next one when they see you sulk, yell at teammates, or roll your eyes when getting coached.

Just telling players to "fake more" doesn't work.

They need to see it, then do it. We got you covered with the "see it" part.

Here's 7 videos examples to help your players learn faster:🧵👇
1. In pressure moments, use fakes.

Defenders are quick to reach & fast to jump.

We call this shot-fake around the rim, an “arrum.” As in “air them.”
2. Your eyes are weapons.

Yes, you can use the ball to fake. Yes, you can use your body to deceive the defense.

But often, players don't realize how useful eyes-fakes are.

If you only lead by example,

...you're a poor leader.

a thread🧵👇
Now, before you go hard in the comments...

...hear us out.

Leading by example IS an effective form of leadership.
Because let’s face it.

Without the example, any commands you give won't be heard.

They'll be unwanted & ignored.

With a good example as the foundation, you'll have more influence before you ever speak.

Stop calling players soft w/o teaching them how to be tough.

Use these 13 specific ideas to define toughness for your players.

🧵👇
Before we get going, know this:

Toughness is a skill.

It can be developed & improved.

The toughest players are the ones who make it easy for their teammates and hard for their opponent.

Let's dive in.
1/ Set good screens.

When you set a good screen, you're improving the chances a teammate gets open...

...and you're improving the chances you get get open.

That's toughness.

Want better teammates on your roster this season?

You should.

Here's the 10 (teammate) commandments every coach must teach their players.

A thread:👇
1a. Thou shalt be the thermostat, not the thermometer.

Avoid being a thermometer, who walks into the gym & lets the environment dictate their energy.

Instead...

...be an energy giver who forces others around you to raise their temperature to the level you set.
1b. Players who bring constant energy make everything more competitive.

They also make it more fun.

Step 1 to being a great teammate: bring energy every day!!
