Four words that will completely change your life…

After a great visit and meeting with Adam Schumacher and Mark Svagera I am beyond blessed to receive a scholarship offer to play basketball and continue my education at Briar Cliff University

HOW DO YOU TEACH SHOT SELECTION? Here is a great "three or key" list of shots Coach Palicki wants for his team! This is great to share with players for film sessions, & to simplify the opportunities you want players to "hunt" for in games! #Wednesdaywisdom #GetBetterEveryDay

The HS Transition Offense Powering the Pacers Want more layups and open 3s without adding 20 new sets? Every coach says they want to play fast. . . but few do it well. The best shots in basketball are in transition. No matter what level you’re talking about, teams always score

What is the Cost of Leadership? It costs $0 to say “hello.” It costs $0 to pick up trash It costs $0 to say “please.” It costs $0 to be kind It costs $0 to say “thank you.” It costs $0 to encourage others It costs $0 to smile Lead by Example. It costs nothing.

There's no excuse to avoid in-season training This can be done in 20-30 minutes right after practice: 2 work sets of each : 1A: Trap Bar Dead 1B: DB Bench 2A: DB RDL 2B: Chin Ups

CONSTRAINT SCRIMMAGING Really love what Coach Palicki does to put players in game like situations, while challenging them to adapt. Here are a few ideas he shared with me the idea that are gold! Give them a shot! #GetBetterEveryDay #WednesdayWisdom

💡 Stop wishing it were easier — expect it to be hard. When your expectations match reality, frustration disappears and growth begins. Hard practices. Tough days. Big challenges. That’s where the fun lives. Because as Jay Bilas says, “Fun is doing difficult things well."

There is no magic number of shots per day/week. A number does not guarantee success. Time spent does not guarantee success. The sooner you realize it the sooner you’ll be focusing on what is required. Not an arbitrary number.

All fouls are NOT created equally… Acceptable Fouls ▪️Aggressive box out ▪️Diving for a loose 🏀 ▪️General hustle plays ▪️Attempting to draw charges ▪️Stopping an uncontested layup ▪️Rooting out for position on O or D ▪️Battling for 50/50 rebounds or live balls

A reminder for youth basketball coaches starting their season: Stop wasting so much time putting in set plays - most of them don’t work anyway. Teach your players how to space the floor and recognize opportunities to create advantages. That’s what actually translates to

CUTTING is the most under taught, trained & valued SKILL in 🏀 Here’s 8 scoring cuts players should learn w/ clips by 1 of the best cutters ever in Indiana. 1. Corner/Cory Cuts 2. 45 Cuts 3. Post give & Gos 4. Post Loops 5. Oboard Dives 6. Midline Dives 7. Back Cut 8. Wedge Cut

Wishing alum Jeremy Becker (‘14) continued success as the Head Coach at North Central this season. Entering his 4th season at the helm, Coach Becker has helped lead the program to unseen heights! #CardinalProud
