When a player takes a good shot - range, rhythm, rebounders, reversal - support the player whether it’s made or missed. Coaches can’t say trust the process and not trust the process. #cmdcoachinglab

Most coaches talk culture. Few actually build it. Start building what you believe in. #CMDCoachingLab #ProgramBuilding #CultureMatters

If you feel stuck, start one small thing today: A new habit stack. A reflection on last season. A new communication strategy. A plan to grow your programs culture. A new way to challenge your players. Growth doesn’t happen all at once—just one step at a time. #CMDCoachingLab

Coaches let your players know that today they have permission to mess up. - miss shots - dribble off their foot - chase down balls - make a bad pass Getting better doesn’t always look good. In fact, a new skill often looks ugly in the beginning. #CMDCoachingLab

You don’t need permission to relax, say “not today”, or take a day to yourself. The basketball world says, grind, grind, grind. Sometimes your mind and body need to rest, rest, rest to be at their best. #CMDCoachingLab

Program building starts with being YOU. Players see through fake. Borrow ideas, but only if they fit your style. Be honest. Be fair. Be consistent — to your stars and your role players. That’s how you earn respect AND results. #CMDCoachingLab

Work hard. Work smart. THEN have fun. But define “fun” for your players: •Competing hard •Improving together •Seeing growth Fun isn’t goofing off—it’s getting better. #CMDCoachingLab

Reflection challenge for this week! Audit your own correction habits: 🏀 Are you stopping play too often—or not enough? 🏀 Are your players hearing your corrections or just being told what’s wrong? 🏀 Do they leave practice knowing exactly what they did right and what they need
