There is a common myth out there. And, while there some truth to it, I’m here to debunk it today…
Individual Instruction and Player Development is an off-season thing.
While it’s a MUST that players develop their individual skills during the off-season that doesn’t mean it should be neglected during the season.
When you look at teams who win state championships in high school, and national championships in college, they have players who go on to play at the next level. Because when the offense breaks down, and it eventually will, you need guys who can make plays.
And even though every offense looks great on paper, when it really comes down to it, your success will depend on the execution of the offense. No matter which system you run, if your players can’t pivot and pass with contact, finish in traffic, separate from pressure and shoot the basketball, the offense will not produce results.
So while a team can’t function without an offensive and defensive system, these systems can’t function without solid fundamental, foundational and essential skills. Solid fundamentals — at the individual level — are the lifeblood of any successful team.
During the season, with limited practice time and a lot to accomplish, it’s crucial that every single drill you do has purpose…
…Every single drill has game carryover…
…And develops rock solid fundamentals that allow your team to perform at the highest level possible when that level is needed. What John Wooden called “Competitive Greatness”
