"Little things make big things happen." - John Wooden
"Do five more." Find five positive behaviors to insert into our day. Yours won't be the same as mine. A few come straight from the video.
1. Invest one minute on exercise when we wake up. It's only a minute but extend it.
2. Write down three gratitude items. Attitude is a choice; so is gratitude. It's also part of the PUSH-T mantra - purpose, unity, servant leadership, humility, and thankfulness. Building character is part of our mission.
3. Watch five minutes of basketball video. Player development tips transfer to our coaching, our players, and our bottom line (results). Pro Tip - most days you get a few minutes from this site.
4. Each day, ask "what does our team need now?" Follow with "how am I addressing that need?"
5. Find and deliver inspiration - a quote, a video, a personal message. Share a poem or a recipe. Sportscaster Robin Roberts says, "Change the way we think to change the way we feel."
Drill. Alabama finish, flip, fire. Excellent drills share offense, defense, decision-making, and often competition.
The corner driver can finish, flip to the 5, or fire to the corner 3.
Set play. Early offense starts in multiple ways - spread, pistol action, and others like Zeljko Obradovic's.
Obradovic's action sets up a wing isolation, weakside cutter, high ball screen, and a possible pair of corner 3s. Note the great spacing and importance of decision-making.
Lagniappe. Coach Drew Hanlen teaches side-to-side hesitation moves.
Lagniappe 2. "Punch dribble." My ankles literally hurt just watching.
