That's our challenge, giving them what they need to know and more.
If you could share any three pieces of information with your students, what would those be?
- Appreciate basketball symmetry; what you want to do offensively is what you want to stop defensively.
- "Don't cheat the drill." The quality of your practice matters.
- "There's no substitute for becoming a proficient shooter." You can't win 0-0.
What overarching themes come into play every day?
- "Control what you can control...attitude, choices, effort."
- "Everyone can be a great teammate."
- "Persist in your effort to 'see the game', to pursue excellence in game understanding."
What do learners receive from their students?
- We receive feedback on what works and what doesn't.
- We get appreciation for 'sharing'.
- We see young people grow into responsible adults. You never know what teaching point will make a difference in their lives.
