ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT FIRST, WINNING SECOND

If players under your guidance can execute the fundamentals of the game efficiently and consistently, winning will be a by-product that naturally occurs. A major emphasis in your sessions should be placed on fundamental skill acquisition.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 

It doesn’t matter how much you know about the game of basketball if you are not able to communicate this effectively to your players. Focus on teaching points within a drill you run. General rule of thumb is to have three teaching points within a drill especially in the younger age groups. Encourage and stay positive with your players. Be consistent with all players in your messages that you deliver. Make sure you are firm on poor behaviour also, poor body language and attitude needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

ORGANISATION & PLANNING

Players will have confidence in a coach who runs a well organised, interesting and systematic practise session. I always have a session plan whenever I run my trainings. Develop long term objectives based on individual and team talent available and short-term objectives that will assist in reaching these long-term objectives. Format training plans and game plans. Write these down and keep for future reference.
