The FUNDAMENTALS

Consider building a player’s capacity to…

Vision
▪️ Read the situation before they get the ball.

Decision
▪️ Have a solution before they get the ball.

Precision
▪️ Execute that solution with and without the ball.

Dear Youth Coach

Bitching, berating and barking at young athletes from the sidelines does not make them tough or prepare them for life.

It creates the next generation of poor coaches who will bitch, berate and bark at others.

The word "yet" will completely change your life.

It's the key to a growth mindset:

"I'm not good enough" becomes "I'm not good enough...yet."

"I don't know how to do it" becomes "I don't know how to do it...yet."

"I'm not capable of that" becomes "I'm not capable of that...yet."

"Yet" is your one word reminder that you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. You are dynamic and capable of so much more than you realize.

Embrace the "yet" and change your life.

Every player and every coach competes to win. That is the nature of a sport.

However, children need more than transactional coaching. They need mentors who lead them in ways much more profound than a weekend victory.

If we place results above relationships we are part of the problem in youth sports.

Parent Escape

If your child’s coach is overly negative or continually abusive, leave.

If your child’s coach is positive, holds your child to inspirationally high standards and accountability regardless of results, stay.

Don’t run from good educators for a logo.

When coaching children we must continuously strive to move away from linear drills & over instruction.

And embrace a games based environment of problem solving, critical thinking & decision making.

Given the opportunity, they will find the answers. Set it up & let them play.

Our passions are ignited when we set out to advance a cause greater than ourselves.

Grateful to @shaneparrish for featuring this idea from Master of Change in @farnamstreet this morning.

It's one of the top 5 constructs in the book in terms of having an impact on my own thinking.

It's okay to go all-in for a season—so long as you diversify your sense of self.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Parents shouldn't push kids into one sport.

New data: specializing early predicts faster progress but a lower peak. World-class athletes played more sports early, focused later, and took longer to excel than national-level athletes.

A jack of all trades becomes a master of one.

🇱🇧This is a thread outlining some of my recent ideas and the concepts I shared during my week in Lebanon.

💡I ran coach workshops and player camps. The focus was on helping show alternatives to the dominant approach while making sense of the CLA in a practical manner.

✍️ Good stuff in this 🧵…

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

🔎Our U11 practices start with free play...here's how & why.

👉Problem: Our players are inexperienced and don’t free play on their own.
💡Coaches Role: Create an environment in which players grow.

Tweets/sports/games should be fun and shoot dopamine into your brain

Here is how the best in the world create addictions to fun

and how we can ruin it ...

Warm up: 2vs1 layups. 2 players at the same time, one defender.
🔑 Defender: use fake and the arms to create uncertainty
🔑 Attacking player: find his window, play with the pace
☝️Change the spot makes different readings.

[Jose Daniel Gonzalo @CoachJDGonzalo]

I recover this infographic I made some years ago about the variables of shooting. In College Prep we use a science background for planning our practices and make decissions.

If we are serious about retaining more children in sport we could consider the following.

1. Smaller sided games at training

2. Smaller sided games on match day

3. Modifications of pitch size

4. Equal game time for all

5. Less emphasis on results

6. More emphasis on effort

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

You can’t refute data with opinions. The best way to challenge evidence is with better evidence.

Confirmation bias is dismissing inconvenient facts. Critical thinking is questioning your beliefs.

The goal of learning is to pursue what's true, not defend your views.
