1 Drill: Arizona. We can't work enough on passing, cutting, and layups. Tara VanDerveer shares 'Arizona.'
Pass up, back, diagonal and finish. Cut hard, finish tough. Vary the finish. We can add resistance near the rim.
3 Concepts: The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced many coaches and players to Remote Learning.
1. Practice the first lesson of Stoicism, "Control what you can control." We control our attitude, choices, and effort. Adopt techniques from the Learning How to Learn course.
The Pomodoro Technique: 20 seconds can make your study more efficient. Alternate study and break periods. Attention is fatiguable.
Even some pro sports teams have adopted a 25 minute on, 5 minute break approach.
2. Spaced repetition. "Repetitions make reputations."
Whether pick-and-roll defense or 3-on-3 small sided games, repetition at regular intervals helps accelerate the learning curve.
3. Multiple inputs. We learn by seeing, hearing, and doing. We also learn via "self-testing." After reading or practice, write key concepts in your notebook. Writing helps retention. Don Meyer kept three notebooks - one for basketball, one for general knowledge, and a gratitude notebook for his wife that he gave to her annually. Every outstanding player is a student of the game.
CONTENT. Seek memorable content, like the videos from the Cross Canada Coaches Clinic and its 23 videos.
