"#Basketball : Stolen Wisdom, "Extreme Ownership"

"Good artists borrow; great artists steal." - Picasso

Jocko Willink doesn't apologize. Apologies mean lives lost. Here's a checklist from Extreme Ownership...stolen from a summary from Paul Minors


What is the main thing? How are we keeping it the main thing?

Are we all operating at a high tempo, efficiently, and focused? 

Teach players to manage the game, find mismatches, and understand situations. Commander's intent relies on distributed leadership.  

Break the game into smaller pieces, playing small sided games

Get everyone on the same page. The best players have to be the hardest workers. 

Cut down mistakes. 

When everyone is engaged, commitment translates into higher effort. 

Be flexible enough to adjust to changing circumstances. 

Be self-aware to make corrections.
