Teaching how to make moves into a runner. Balance and reading the way a defender is essential when doing you need to get your shot over a taller defender.

Reacting to dribble drives and moving off the ball. Using the phrase the “the ball has eyes” can it see you ??

Coaches: What you do is far more important than wins/losses. Sports gives you the opportunity to seriously impact lives. You can change kids’ lives for the better & help instill a sense of self-belief in those who lack it. The impact on your players is lifelong if you serve them!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The best things to do for your kids:

-Discipline when necessary
-Teach them not to quit
-Love unconditionally
-Let them experience failure
-Make them face adversity
-Be a solid foundation
-Teach the difference in wanting/working
-Make them stand on their own 2 feet
-Support 100%

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

The person is always more important than the player. Developing better people should be your #1 commitment. Sports have a very short life span. Development, relationships & education lasts forever. Seeing kids learn, grow, develop & become should be what all coaches strive for!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

You can’t change what happened in the past, but you can control how it affects the future. Don’t ever let your yesterday determine your tomorrow. Learn from who you were. Believe in who you are. Create who it is you want to become right now. What matters now is all that matters!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If you have a former coach who you can still call, Snap, Facebook, text, FaceTime, etc. then you had a coach who put you first & created lifelong, caring relationships with players. That isn’t always the case, so consider yourself lucky & keep those relationships close to heart.

Young Assistant Coaches:

- Get off your phones during practice
- Offer to stay after practice for xtra work
- Show up early, set the example
- Help set up / clean up games & practices
- Before games ask HC if they need anything
- You should NEVER be sitting down @ practice
