John Gruden Gold. 1. Everybody has dreams. I’m in to nightmares. 2. Are you invested in the TEAM? 3. Communication is not good enough, anywhere. 4. There is a big difference between good and great.

Love this 4v3 Grinnell SSG from John Carrier 🔸put 7:00 on clock 🔸4v3 each way (shooter steps off each transition) 🔸players can drive it but all shots must be 3s (defender must stay with driver) 🔸:08 shot clock 🔸every 3PM is 1 point

🔺1-on-1 Triangle Touch 👉 1 point per cone touch, can touch in any order. Change roles on deflection or out of bounds 👀 Work on using body to handle intense ball pressure. Constraints promote more drop steps, hip turns and spin dribbles.

A question I use during practice/video review is “What makes sense?”. Metacognitive awareness is key for players learning. Takes time and effort. Goal is to stack concepts organically to disorganize the defense. Then make a decision on what makes sense at the time! An example:
