Head Women's Basketball Coach- Northwest University - Kirkland, WA @NorthwestUWBB - Former Lake Stevens; Issaquah HS Head GBasketball Coach - WNBA Advance Scout
PLAYERS: Soon your season, your coaches, and your teammates will ask what you did all summer. You won't have to even open your mouth to respond because your actions, attitude, conditioning , and results will speak for you.
Open Gym Variation: Play to 100 (stole this from West Liberty)
Play to 100 in sets of 20 (take a break when a team gets to 20/40/60/80/etc and pick back up from there.
Great conditioner, very competitive, and gives your players situations to work on naturally on their own.
Embrace the boredom of consistency.
"When you're building championship habits, it's very boring and it's very meticulous.
And, it is frustrating at times, but it never changes.
We continue to do what we do, continue to build those habits and nothing changes."

WCF is littered with examples of this 👇🏼
Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time.
One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is:
‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’.
Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is.
The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%?
Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball.
The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇

I know 3 D1 Head Mens Basketball Coaches and 1 Major Program Assistant that were all NAIA Head Coaches less than 5-6 years ago.
Those same coaches would get ignored left and right by recruits and coaches then….but now everyone wants to be their friend and “has a player for them”.
Don’t ignore ANY coach because you simply never know what it can lead to.
“The signature of individual greatness in a team sport is the ability to elevate others beyond their natural capabilities,” Sam Presti
A winner doesn’t thrive on competition, they drive collective growth.
