1. Priorities vs. Decisions

2. How to Become Basketball Strong

Recently I was talking to a college coaching friend of mine, and I asked him what his biggest struggle was when recruiting high school athletes. His response? "It's a simple answer. They're not strong enough." He went on to say that more than 95% of the high school players he watches play have bodies that will NEVER SURVIVE at the college level.

Don't be one of those athletes (or coach a team of athletes) that don't understand the importance of changing their body to level up their game. Instead, make a plan and stick to it - just like if you were developing a new skill on the court.

3 Ways to Finish Strong This Season

I’ve got to admit it. I'm missing coaching a team more than I thought I would this year. After 14 years as a head coach in Texas and Oklahoma, this is my first season away from the sidelines and I've been having "end of the year" withdrawls!

This was always my favorite part of the season - the end-of-season run. It was time to really dial in and make the necessary adjustments to be at our absolute best for the home stretch of the year. It’s also the time of the year that feels like it’s always on fast forward. Before you know it, the season will be over. And for some teams, if they’re not careful, it’ll end too soon with the abrupt end disappointingly catching you off guard.

As I’m not coaching a team of my own this year, I’ve found that I have a lot of extra free time on my hands as well. 😂 Recently I spent some time intentionally thinking back on these end-of-season runs, both the good and the bad. As I relived so many great memories, I began to focus in on the things I did as a coach that allowed us to finish the season strong and create a season to remember. It's a list that I know will help you and your team this season as well.
