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.

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.

@debpeterson12 and #basketballimmersion newsletter...sign up here basketballimmersion.com/newsletter/ 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.

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).

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.
