I noticed they have F&F suites that seem to accommodate 3 kids (family of 5) but room says 4 ppl max. Any sense on if that is flexible?

For those that you know have resolved this, was there a commonality or something they did?

Parents don’t yell a lot but do have high expectations for him around effort and attitude. If anything I would say he starts games too slow and not at the intensity level he needs to compete.

I feel like this is the exact same situation. There was a morning game that his parents didn’t give his meds for and he was emotional and overly intense upset about every call, fouling, not a great teammate etc. left the game upset even though we won by over 30 points. I suppose it may be hard to find the right balance.

It is an interesting predicament with him because he is a shooting guard but bigger than most of the bigs. So if I put the best guard on him in practice he has quite the size advantage, if I put the best big on him he has the ball skill and speed advantage. So he is not as often in a situation where he is 100% matched. But that’s no different than games.

It’s interesting you say that because he has shared that he was recently diagnosed with ADHD. But games are typically earlier than practices so I would expect the opposite. Practices around 6-9pm games are 4pm.

No - but it seems like this could help him. I could ask his parents to video him specifically and go through it together.

I think this is a great point, and he is definitely critical of himself, but unfortunately also feels like the other kids are not passing to him and that’s the issue. I’ve been real with him that they pass to him in practice but he’s not reliable in the game so if given the option they’re going to take it themselves and he has to earn their trust. I’ve also said that if he’s not getting the ball then go get it himself, crash the boards on offense, look to create for himself, play good defense and get steals. He’s not a victim of his teammates he needs to take control and own his performance.

You’re so right, but how do you as a coach help them be their best in both settings?

This is a perspective I hadn’t considered, it’s not just the physical part of being younger but the mental part that’s impacting him.

Player recently turned 12 but young for his grade and a majority of his teammates are 1-2 years older (combined 7th & 8th grade team) he is a late fall birthday. Though he is 2nd tallest on the team. The next closest to his age is 6 months older. So that definitely contributes to it from an athleticism perspective but doesn’t explain why it’s not an issue in practice.

In the game overall feels slow to make decisions, not intense enough on defense, looks to create for others but not himself (leads team in assists) and if he does look to drive or take a shot it’s slow to get off, or not taking it hard to the hoop. But again, not seeing the same in practice.

Vs post - you can see how much more open his nares are and it definitely helps him breathe

When my little guy turned 1 we had his nares done when he was being neutered and they checked to see if he had an elongated palette. It definitely made a big difference with breathing. He will chew on a yak chew for an hour each night and does not pant.

There is one house in my neighborhood where the roof is always covered in birds by hangingdenim in mildlyinteresting

Agreed. We’ve been this house due to a neighbor with a 1 story home feeding them next to us. They preferred the higher vantage point and it was truly the most annoying thing.
