UNC Women's Soccer coach Anson Dorrance talks about "continual ascension." That only occurs when our habits help form sustainable competitive advantage.
Start with a list of possibilities and choose something that works for you.
1. Writing/journaling. Invest in ourselves. It doesn't have to be basketball. Journal about your work, values, leadership, whatever. You don't have to share.
2. Exercise. Find an embraceable routine. I find dumbbells versatile and useful for legs, core, and upper body. James Clear says to make the habit OBVIOUS, EASY, ATTRACTIVE, and REWARDING.
3. Reading. Read what interests you and seek quality authors. I'm reading Tolstoy currently.
5. Improve general knowledge and thinking. I favor MasterClass. Today I was rewatching a lesson from Dan Pink about influencing others. For example, he suggested asking 'on a scale of 10, how motivated are you to do X?" If it's a low number, ask why it's not lower. Maybe our child doesn't want a messy room because he'll be embarrassed if a friend visits.
The great separator in life.

Details.
The little things.
Your Daily Habits.
These little things are cumulative and they will always turn into big things.
This is why the standards at which you live and do things matter.

Credit players with great habits. Encourage players with good habits. Teach players with poor habits.
Lagniappe. A louder voice isn't always heard better.
π€― Unpopular take: Constantly yelling during games isn't effective coaching. A composed and strategic approach communicates confidence and reassurance to your players. Silence can speak volumes. #CalmCoaching #StrategicSilence

People that never coached a day in they life will try to tell a coach what to do. What other profession do people do that?
