How you frame anything in your life will determine on how you emotionally acting. Are you going through a plateau or are you just paying your dues to the next level?

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. You can’t go to the gym or the court without a clear goal/ workout or what you need to accomplish!

Basketball players all have jacked up and ankles and probably tight hips. We have to attack those problem areas everyday. Band stretching is probably the best

My biggest take away between American and Chinese basketball is community and culture. Sports is taken seriously in 🇺🇸 kids are encouraged to be aggressive! As a coach we need to know that at times a player’s peers will affect them more than we ever can.

We largely feel like the mental game of sports cannot be taught. But what if “Choking” or being “Clutch” was simply a matter of where you are focusing your attention? Within or on the task?

It is my absolute pleasure to officially announce that Strive Gold Team has raised enough money to send the first ever team from Hong Kong to play AAU in the states.

The Gold Team’s mission is to help talented primarily underprivileged girls further their education.

I rarely teach movement as an isolated skill (Example: Step Slide) let the athlete self organize! We as Coaches need to find the right task for them to self discover the movement that works best for them!

If I were the president of the world 🌎 the first thing I would ban is 3 Man Weave 🗣️

Just kidding. But in all honesty there are just so many better finishing drills than 3 man weave. Here are a few. Take them tweak them, make it better and teach me!!

Even when teaching static 1 v 1 there needs to be affordances (different options when using a certain move)

Remember the concept of a MUST vs a POSSIBILITY. No move is a must!

The #1 to boost your self confidence. It’s not complicated:
❌ it’s not hypnosis
❌ it’s not meditation
❌ it’s not visualization

Great to have our Conference Player of the Year back in Hong Kong! We are so proud if you #yanniechan

Working on acceleration and deceleration can be very simple can be tough but tag can be the best teacher. Add a ball into the drill to incorporate ball handling!

“What is the value of sports? You can’t make a living out of it so why bother?”

This is my response to those people.

Static 1 v 1

Step 1:
Float 1-2 step— no space= drive
Space = shoot

Step 2:
Cannot drive immediately
Float (space) shoot
Float ( contested shot) Hesi

How we set up ball screens really depends on who is guarding us and how they are guarding us. Are they fast, strong? Are they guard us aggressively or passively?

[William Vosper Lo @Willvlo]

Isolation plays are the hardest way to find an advantage on offense. While attack close outs are the easiest! Are we teaching our players to attack close outs everyday in practice?

[William Vosper Lo @Willvlo]

Throw away layup lines, 3 man weaves etc. Finishing needs to be competitive.
Back on back, shoulder to chest, transition rounding, defensive cone rounding.

You can get as strong as you want in the weight room, without introducing collision and contact no weight room numbers matter. Try to do a circuit where ballers compete physically the entire time! Here is an example
