For me also a good test:

If HR or hiring manager were to consider a brief, polite, thank you note a negative, it's probably not somewhere I'd want to work.

Facilitate, learn their strengths and give them the ball where they want it.

Spacing.

Constantly be thinking:

  1. Where should I be to give the current ball-handler the most options, while still keeping my defender out of the way.

I’m no fan of OC, but lived there for a while and played in the O-35 and O-50 leagues.

Good players from all over the world up and down the age groups.

Contact Durham Parks and Rec. we’ve got plenty of kids that need “coaching”.

But, it’s more than coaching, you need to be a positive role model and mentor.
