Basketball: Eric Spoestra (Notes on Notes) and a Big DON'T

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

Not sure of the clinic time or place, but Eric Spoelstra "Spo" is good seven days a week. 

"We're not for everybody." - Be authentic, unless you're an authentic jerk 

Know your core values. (Write them out)

"Build better relationships with players." 

"Every team has a pecking order."

"How important is winning to you?" (As a developmental, middle school coach, I live with a ton of cognitive dissonance)

No compromise from being on the same page. One message. 

The Heat teach young players HOW to watch film (and that you will be coached)

"Build a growth mindset." 

Know the analytics. 

• "Shooting percentage spikes on inside-out 3's." 
• Where are our points going to come from? 

Heat (25 Horns) via Doc Rivers (see multiple teams run now) 

Lagniappe:  I knew a player who did this too often. Eventually, you get payback and it won't be pretty. I specifically teach players NOT to do this. Rip low. 

Trainers, stop teaching this rip thru move where the elbows get to the height of the defender’s face. At best, it’s a foul, at worst, you do serious damage to the defender’s face. You absolutely should not be doing potentially injurious moves pic.twitter.com/dv1o7SQHvc
