10 years ago, dudes on coaching message boards dismissed me as not a real coach (nerd w/a PHD) & said I just made up research (8 peer-reviewed papers). Now every trainer who read a pop sci book in the last 5 years is "training on the frontier of science & hoops". Y'al too funny.

Twitter conversations would improve if every time someone tweets “science says” or “research found”, the citation was required.

Coaches texting me about trainers finally discovering live defenders and trying to come up with new buzzwords to make 1v1 sound more complicated and science-y.

The irony is an NBA guy told me a few NBA coaches said trainer X was “revolutionizing” skill development. What’s so revolutionary about his training, I asked. He uses live defenders.🤦‍♂️😂

It’s funny when journalists write about NBA/NCAA coaches doing something slightly novel, like they invented a new secret, but youth & high school coaches have been doing it for decades (probably NCAA/NBA too, to be fair, just minus the PR/social media accompanying coaches now).

I genuinely think this is the first time I’ve seen someone on here get this right.

In the “old days” we started official practice on 10/15. Today would have been our 3rd practice. Fast forward, today is our 60th practice since June, and we are finally playing someone besides ourselves. We need to be able to play MORE games vs. outside competition in October.

What people think football coaching is… 1. Shouting tactical instructions from the sideline. 2. Lifting trophies with your best players. 3. Designing world-class sessions. Sounds simple, right? Here’s the reality: (Most won’t see this) 1. Training on a 1/4 pitch because

The inability for coaches to distinguish between poor endurance/conditioning or being out of shape and fatigue (physical, mental) probably causes more problems than we realize.

Content creators are so against questions, they’ll block you for general questions that have nothing to do with them. My question was about Cooper Flagg after he posted a video of Flagg.

I watched a coaching clinic as a coach grew more & more frustrated with players who didn't understand his instructions for spacing despite repeating himself over & over & I wanted to raise my hand & show him Michael MacKay's Canada Rules. Problem solved. youtube.com/watch?v=9ndhYd…

Each initiative, program, ideology and structure created to help regular Americans has been labelled as 'socialism.' Literally, everything.

What entrepreneur is going to start the “gap year professional league” for HS graduates to marinate and develop for a few years before committing to a D1? JuCo with no classes/eligibility loss. Maybe Unrivaled Basketball starts a MBB division for this purpose.

Sure seems like an MBA would be more appropriate education for a basketball trainer than a PHD in Exercise & Sport Science. Marketing wins.

@SoccerCTC Most drills "look" like the sport skill, but do not have the same constraints. Constraints change the skill and the biomechanics.
