Been preaching these same things for a while now.
These points are 100% spot on - and must be recognised & embraced by ALL levels of coaching!
Nicely done Joel. ๐ฏ

Iโm sure youโve heard all the stories of Nikola Jokic โ the unwitting superstar.
When Aaron Gordon arrived at his very first @nuggets practice, Jokic moved his shooting routine to a side hoop so Gordon could shoot on the main basket.
When people ask Jokic about his multiple MVP awards, he rolls his eyes and changes the subject.
When Jokic is pressed about his diminished role in the NBA All Star game, he jokes about how heโs the greatest in-bounder in All Star history.
But I noticed another side to Jokic recently.
I saw the quiet, erudite leader who needs not say a word to play the alpha dog in the Nuggets locker room.
Rookie Christian Braun held court in the middle of a media scrum one day when Jokic waited off to the side for his duties in front of the cameras.
Braun, ever-loquacious that particular day, started going into detail about how the Nuggets planned to defend a particular player.
Joker, coy but diplomatic, noticed the conversation headed in a direction that could reveal coaching strategy, so he did what any great leader would do: he stepped in and told Braun his media session was over.
โVery good my brother. Thatโs the last question. Goodbye.โ
Braun didnโt bat an eye. Heeding Jokicโs instructions, the rookie stood up and mid-sentence excused himself from the media scrum.
Jokic thanked his teammate, gave him a friendly pat on the back, and Sombor Shuffled his way into the media swarm.
Thus began five minutes of vague Jokerisms and witty repartee.
Nikola Jokic never glosses himself.
He never criticizes a coach or a teammate.
He never demeans an opponent.
And by God, with English as a second language, he never lets a teammate divulge a game plan.
Heโs an egoless kingpin. And he will snatch your soul on a basketball court.
@m_felgate@RSN927 Spot on. Some punters arenโt realising itโs not this weeks rain that caused scratching, it was running him on a H10 1st up. The big wet two weeks was what got him. Was always going to need more than 2 weeks to fully recover & prepare for 2nd-up start.
Congrats to Spectres athletes named to @Basketball_Vic U12 Jamboree.

@HallPania Watch where Williams takes Tofane on straightening - exact same part of track he won on Hustle 2 weeks ago & basically rides sideways to get there.
Cahill decides to stick to middle (inferior ground). Unbelievable. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
