Footwork is the lifeblood of a basketball player!

CURL THE PUPPYDOG! Whether you are filling an empty spot or playing off screens without the ball, the trigger is the same: If your defender follows you, CURL to the basket!

The Read & React Off does 3 things
Some offenses do 1-2 of these
1- Player Movement
2- Ball Movement
3- Spacing
Few offenses have all 3 of these components
Some strengths of R&R
1-You can layer up as season goes
2-Learn how to play, not bunch of plays
3-Youth to Pros can run it

Wow, this is POWERFUL!

As a player, your confidence cannot be taken away, but you can give it away.

Outside ppl cannot take away:

• How hard you’ll work.

• How good a day you’re going to have.

• What type of attitude you’re going to have.

Most common decision in offensive basketball?

What to do when you don't have the ball

1 player has possession, 4 players don't

Stand
Fill
Cut
Screen
Space away

Are you teaching players how to read the court, how to read the help defenders, what cues trigger what actions?

Kobe Bryant on mental toughness!

Wow, this should be shown to all players and coaches! 🐐🐐

“We’re not here to coach your energy level & your effort…. That’s a given.”

Great players don’t get tired.

If you’ve been to a PGC Basketball camp you know going off of 2-feet is emphasized!

It allows you to:

• Play w/ more balance.
• Take & receive more contact.
• Change directions more efficiently.
• Use fakes at the end of drives.
• Draw more fouls.

Among other things.

Reminder for players,

ALL Referees are human beings:

• Learn their names.

• Use their names when addressing them w/ a good tone.

• Thank them for their time before & after games as you wouldn’t be able to play the sport you love without them.

Kindness is a separator.

Proper mental preparation is not much more than making sure you aren’t giving in or being victimized by negative ways of thinking.
