“The greatest gap in life is the one between knowing and doing.”
Everyone “knows”
Very few “do”

"The most open you will ever be is when you first catch the ball" - Jay Wright
Good offensive teams never waste a closeout.
Playing off your jump shot puts constant stress on the defense
Keep it simple:
• Space = Shoot it
• No space = Drive it
• Drive stopped = Share it

Player development is not rocket science. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel or over-complicate it. The game is simple, so your training should be too. Rep what happens in games from the spots they occur. Make players be intentional and move w/ purpose.

Are you the EXAMPLE or are you the EXCUSE?
This moment set the entire tone for camp!

Watching college games today -
Big takeaways for perimeter players to improve on:
1) Maintaining posture & balance on drives to the rim
2) Forceful & Consistent footwork on player movement 3s
3) Ball Placement on Rip Drives - shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip.

Don’t Major In the Minors
Minors:
Stepbacks, fadeaways, complicated dribble combos
Majors:
Catch & shoots, finishes through contact, decisions (off ball, on the catch, on the drive, at the rim)
Spend MORE TIME in your workouts on the things that happen MOST OFTEN in games.

Is there a difference between coaching for development and coaching to win?
When talking development., limiting what a player is allowed to do can help them focus on the things they can do but does it take away future possibilities and motivation to improve?

We teach the idea of a “Mistake Response” at PGC.
Here’s a really cool example of responding to a mistake to win a game!

Shot selection will tell you A LOT about a player and a team!
Shooting bad shots=
Low basketball IQ and/or
Not serious about winning you just want numbers
Team that shoots bad shots=bad culture
Basketball is simple can you get good shots and force opponents into bad shots

High performers are really good at delayed gratification.
Putting in tons of work for a payoff that is often months or years down the line.
It takes patience.

Soon many of you will find out that the wins your AAU team had in the elementary & middle school divisions, meant nothing & you wasted the most important time of your child’s career chasing trophies & clout, instead of true development & growth.

Players: you need to play more pickup. No trainers, no coaches, no parents just you figuring things out on your own. – at Oklahoma, USA
