Here are a few of my initial observations after spending the morning with Coach Oats and the Alabama men’s basketball team: EVERYTHING matters here… every… single… detail is important. They understand that little things done consistently generate BIG results. EVERYTHING is measured/recorded: *Each player’s heart rate, mileage coverage, and calories expended *What time each player enters the practice facility *How much film each player watches on their own EVERYTHING is organized. Nothing is haphazard. Their film breakdown and practice plan were hyper-focussed and precise. EVERYTHING is intentional and is part of the bigger picture and process required to win a National Championship. EVERYTHING in practice is timed, filmed, and monitored. Every drill matters. Every shot taken matters. “How you do anything is how you do everything.”
