How to get your players to conform to their roles:
- At som point you're going to hit a tough stretch and guys are going to complain about their roles
- We laminated cards with exact definition of each player's role.
- "Jermaine O'Neal: Leader, scorer, rebounder, defender, game closer."
Ideas during film
- Ask your players questions during film, keeps them on their toes.
- Make players accountable to know game assignments.
- Break film into 3 segments
- How bad we were
- What we did well
- How we want to do it. (If there isn't a lot of footage of your team doin g what you want, substitute with another team that does do it well.)
Be posititive:
- A lot of times you need to more positive than negative
- As coaches we have a tendency to scrutinize
- Show them how close they are to winning
- Show them the mistakes that cost them the games.
Losing:
- Who in hasn't been a head coach? Well look forward to your first losing streak.
- You will find out more about yourself and your team when you have a losing streak.
- At the beginning of the season talk about losing, and how it can mess up a team.
- When it happens we are going to commit even more to who we are.
- When a tema loses your going to have to make adjustments, gives you a sense of urgency, change rotations.
Stretching:
- When teams do it well, it's a spring to a great practice
- Shane Battier used to get his Duke team going while they are stretching
- Make stretching analogous to a great start in practice
Communication:
- Tape yourself talking to your team. First reaction will be yuck.
- Pause mid sentence when you speak.
- Less is more.
- Keeps the audience engaged
- Generates anticipation
- Also helped me become a clearer thinker.
