Coaching my daughter's 13U AAU team for 5 games over a weekend brought some thoughts. 

Here's what stood out (besides the fun):

A thread. 🧵
1/ Psychological safety matters. Mini conversations and individual feedback helped players feel that they belonged and were contributing. Coaching decisions prioritizing development over outcomes further reinforced this, emphasizing progress over perfection.
2/ Adaptability was key. With different players each game and varied opponents, flexibility ruled the day. It reinforced my strong belief that practice isn't as much about repetition, as it is about developing the ability to solve problems and to adapt to game situations.

1. Cognitive load matters. Communicate what truly matters. Information overload is a very real thing. Doug Lemov talks about rehearsing what you’re going to say in a given situation. Figure out what information is actually relevant and communicate only that.
2. Evaluate independent of outcome. I think the important piece is getting players to recognize the outcome doesn’t change that it was the right decision. Sometimes you do the right thing and it still goes against you.

Top 5 Takeaways from #thebasketballpodcast EP230 Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Max Lefevre shares insights on NBA core defensive concepts.

1. Defense doesn’t matter if you don’t get the rebound. The best schemes are wasted if you can’t end the possession. Loved the “sandwich method”. Would be interesting to hear from coaches who have used it, especially against teams who tag up for offensive rebounding.
2. Choppy step closeouts. Every coach’s dream is to hear a 10-minute deep dive into closeouts. “Chop your steps and break down” is biomechanically inefficient and ineffective yet it’s still taught. We have to do better as coaches at adapting to the science.

How do I know that "learning by doing" improves a player?

When we moved to California, my daughters took tennis lessons at a world-class facility.

Sadly, but not to my surprise, the lessons & transfer to improve their ability to actually play tennis were lacking.

A thread.
1/ Time-on-Task (TOT) & Active Learning Time(TOT) matter more than teaching through lecturing.
Waiting in line, long lectures on technical details were a part of every lesson & not only did my daughters not improve, but they started disliking lessons (& thus learning tennis).
2/ Our solution was to remove them from lessons & instead have them attend weekly “play with dad” sessions.

Practice should not be a coaching clinic; it should be about learning by doing.

Just like basketball, you don’t improve at tennis if you don’t actually play tennis.

ICYMI The Utah Jazz and head coach Quin Snyder had the highest offensive rating by a team in 2021-22, with a 116.7 rating, and here are our favorite plays that worked.

The video demonstrates how a +1 can be used, as well as how players play out of different spacings each time, thus adding more variability.

Some Thoughts From Being in
Process of Raising Two Girls with @lovefitmama
(and everything applies to coaching).
#InternationalWomensDay #iwd2021 #girldad

1. Remove "Be Careful" from our Vocabulary
Give them confidence to explore freely and to challenge their limits.
2. And I Am Smart Too
Anytime someone tells them they are cute, welcome the compliment but also add to the conversation "and I am smart too." We want them to feel and know their value beyond superficial things...substance that has been developed through effort.
3. Honor Them
Hold space. Honor what they want to do, to try, to experience. Create an environment where they can experience things rather than simply being told things. Honor their creativity and learning, rather than dictate what I think and want for them.
