This is beautiful. Thank goodness we're leaning into real hoops on Amazon.

This is a head coaching masterclass in building up a team with self-awareness, humility, accountability and confidence. At a time when some coaches would crack the whip amid a 2-game losing streak, Liam Coen opted to encourage, enlighten and inspire his team. As a former player, this would make me want to own my mistakes and shortcomings, while giving more energy and effort to the mission. #DUUUVAL

Unreal access right here!! Liam called himself out for a horrible play call in the redzone on 4th down. Rookie 7th round RB speaks up and calls out his own mistake. Coach puts it all back on himself. I love this man!!!

🔥 Our favorite constraint at Transforming Basketball 🧠 The "Floor is Lava" constraint creates better spacing by forcing players to escape the paint, encouraging smarter positioning and movement without the ball. 😄 Players love it. Coaches see results. 🔁+❤️ Repost and Like this post, and we'll send you the full breakdown. (Valid 72h only)

Funny what happens when you hit shots. Make or miss game.

"I'm not going to coach technique, I am going to coach the environment." @robinsongha shares his shooting philosophy prior to showing us a shooting activity that connects technique and decisions here youtu.be/aCDWRdTko48

@stevemagness Do you have the link to this research Steve? Intrigued to read more.

We see it in coaching research too. One study of over 200 basketball coaches found authoritarian styles didn’t build resilient athletes. What did? Leaders who emphasized trust. Paradoxically, the path to toughness wasn’t oppression. It was support.

In the 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind mapped parenting styles. Most parents fell into 3 camps: too soft, too hard, or “just right.” Authoritarian parents—the “too hard” camp—believed fear built discipline and toughness But decades of research says the opposite. And we make the same mistake in sports.

@brianmccormick Sport NZ and Aus Sport Commission would have updated data, but obviously not as relevant to N.American contexts.

Many people repeat the statistic that "most children or 70% of children drop out of sports by 13 years of age". To my knowledge, this is based on a study from the 1990s. Does anyone have an updated study?

The Boomers found great success in the first half playing out of inverted actions, effectively leveraging Xavier Cooks unique blend of size, athleticism, and playmaking ability

Coach Caporn and Coach Tomlinson covered both sides of the ball and so much Player Development content in their two sessions on Wednesday night on the Gold Coast and both sessions are available to watch in full at the links below!

spent 4500 words trying to piece together exactly what went wrong at the Indian Panthers thespinoff.co.nz/business/23-07…

@JohnCarrier42 Gauntlet ball handling. groups of 4, 1 handler has to get through 3 'defenders'. Add/remove balls, put time constraints on, change the size of each persons zone.

Coaches: Need Ideas - FAVORITE SSG for ball handling vs. defense? Can't be full court 1 on 1 because of space constraints.

Tyrell Harrison impressed in his first Summer League game with the @nuggets 💪 13 PTS | 8 REB | +14 +/- | 24 MIN
