Last year, we had the profound honor of celebrating Dr. Clarence B. Jones at Chase Center, recognizing his monumental impact on the civil rights movement as a trusted friend, draft speechwriter, and strategic adviser to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We are deeply saddened by his passing. Dr. Jones didn't just witness history; he helped write it. His words shaped a movement, his presence touched our organization, and his towering legacy will forever inspire the work we do both on and off the court.
Ma mère et ma sœur ont déménagé à Lyon en janvier. J'ai passé un merveilleux moment à leur rendre visite avec mes autres frères et sœurs pour célébrer le 94e anniversaire de ma mère.
We just put the wrap on our Post Gala party celebrating at my home with key ppl the record breaking Gala of last night of raising $21 Million dollars for Pediatric Cancer Research thru @TheVFoundation@ESPNPR@jksports
Most players experience practice as a collection of drills. The structure looks active, but the development is inconsistent because the progression is undefined. When installation, execution, and correction are not sequenced, the quarterback is forced to guess what matters most.
A real teaching progression removes that guesswork. You install the concept on paper, define alignment and responsibility, then connect it to film so the quarterback sees structure against real coverage. From there, you move into controlled application, walkthrough, individual, and drill work, where progression discipline is introduced before full-speed stress. By the time you reach team period, the quarterback is not reacting randomly. He is operating within a defined decision hierarchy.
This matters because the position is built on processing under compression. If the progression is skipped, the quarterback never builds a stable framework for recognition or sequencing. That shows up on 3rd and 6 when the window is tight and the decision must be immediate. The throw is judged, but the breakdown happened in the teaching order.
Preparation is not volume. It is sequencing.
The best programs do not leave development to chance. They build it step by step, layer by layer, until execution becomes predictable. That is how command is developed, and why structured teaching progression is non-negotiable.
Mark Few has taken Gonzaga to the NCAA Tournament 26 straight years.
Every Monday, he runs "Personal Growth Mondays" - but coaches aren't allowed in the room.
It's just the players and their mental development coach.
Here's how it works:
