Super Seven Plus: Servant Leadership from Don Meyer

Our job is about building community, using basketball as a vehicle. Greg Brown wrote The Best Things I've Seen in Coaching. He shares a lot of the philosophy of Don Meyer and Pat Summitt. 

One of his chapters shares Don Meyer ideas on Servant Leadership. Here are seven excerpts:

1. "Do good things because it's the right thing to do." 

2. "It is foolish to expect a young person to respect your advice and ignore your example." 

3. "I have decide to let my life be my argument." - Albert Schweitzer

4. "Make everyone else better." 

5. "Winning is giving...winning is a by-product of giving." 

6. "Courtesy is the oil that makes things go smoothly in life." 

7. "Give yourself to the kids." 

Bonus: Multipurpose Transition Finishing 

Full court, both sides of floor:

1. Outlet pass, crisp
2. Guard cuts to receive, back to sideline, pivot into second pass
3. Second pass to frontcourt, 2 dribble finish alternate crossover/spin
4. Follow pass to next (short) line 

Intent is for drill to be run at high tempo.
