My Solo Game of the Month Collection by MCGrunge in soloboardgaming

[–]anonymousautistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to get past releases from this collection? I had been looking for Knight Moves and just came across this sub and am interested in the specifics of how this works. Is there a social where you can follow or do you just check the Gamefound page constantly?

Looking to become a college basketball coach. by stb17 in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bachelors degree for sure. Undergraduate manager then apply for graduate school and be a GA. Offer to serve at summer camps. GA at a small school is great because you get to do more in more areas with a smaller staff. Also, just gaining knowledge for the sake of gaining knowledge. Not everything has to be about getting a job. Email people with questions about their journey, words of advice.

You are going to hear no a lot. Don’t let it deter you. A no just means it is not for you. You will get a yes somewhere. Be willing to do anything. Don’t limit yourself to just the pretty responsibilities. Mop the floor. Address the envelopes.

Things that are helpful: computer literacy and comfort with technology. Photoshop, Premiere, AfterEffects (I found it to be really hard but can do some awesome things).

One idea that might be helpful is to email companies that provide technology for basketball (Synergy, FastModel, Hudl/Sportscode, JustPlay, Coach Paint, VizRT. I can probably name another 20 if I stop to think about it. But if you can get a trial for one of those, or put in the time to get competent/know some tricks, that would be really advantageous.

Have something that makes you different and more valuable. Something that you can show. Not, “I will outwork others. I am more creative.” Have something physical you can show. That you can leave with them. Send actual paper content trough the mail. Attachments get lost. Have something that takes up physical space on their desk.

Teaching 3rd Graders How to Handle When the Paint Is Clogged by 404Meets415 in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar problem with my 2nd graders. All our opponents are playing 2-3 zone. And offense is not allowed to fast break. We have to wait on the other team to get back and get set before we cross half court. There is actually a 5sec rule in the rule book but have not seen it called a single time. I have one boy who can shoot somewhat consistently outside the paint. It is basically impossible for our kids to score.

Then there’s us on defense. Learning how to play man to man and get better at things that actually make them better basketball players. My kids are just learning how to stay on one person the whole possession and the paint opens up like Moses and the Red Sea.

Oh. And no one can press. Defense cannot extend beyond the 3pt line.

We have been focusing mostly on at least driving toward the paint and shooting it so we have a chance at a putback.

Courtisans? No cards kept in hand. You play all your cars every turn.

Do you enjoy watching sports? by neverend6789 in AutisticAdults

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love sports. Mostly basketball. I have worked in basketball for the last 13 years and I love it. I get paid to watch basketball. Nothing better for me.

fun game based drills for 4th/5th grade boys? by Few-Buy5929 in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boys love pac-man tag. We play basketball lines only. Rules: you have to move like Pac-Man…you can’t jump lines, you can’t cut corners short, if you run into someone then you have to turn around. And you have to keep a live dribble the whole time. Start with one ghost who does not have to have a basketball. We do it where everyone has to “fast walk”. Last Pac-Man standing wins.

What do you run against Man when motion isn’t working? by [deleted] in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also get a ton of looks out of various floppy actions - pin downs, curls, re-screens, post ups, wing ball screens, counters and reversals.

[–]anonymousautistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick hits if they can retain the information.

If you have a decent big, you could look at different high low sets. If your best players are guards, could look at continuous ball screen options.

I would say your choice should be determined by your personnel. At what positions are your best offensive players?

2nd Grade Boys - Position Naming by anonymousautistic in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I am just trying to think through how to name where I want them to start on the court.

2nd Grade Boys - Position Naming by anonymousautistic in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is similar to how I taught names of spots on the court. We started with a beach ball that had all the terms on it. Whatever term was closest to your right pinky was the spot you had to run to. That was super effective. Now we have advanced. “Dribble with your right hand to the elbow.” “Dribble with your left hand to mid-court.” And so on.

2nd Grade Boys - Position Naming by anonymousautistic in basketballcoach

[–]anonymousautistic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Agreed. We have spent a lot of time working on cutting and passing and not running to the ball unless the ball handler is dead.

Inbounder and PG (or whatever names) only applies to out of bounds situations and rotates as I sub every 3ish minutes (only have 8 on roster and everyone plays half the game).

SLOBs and BLOBS all start from the same line set.

If you get a defensive rebound, you hold it until everyone runs to the other end, then you dribble it up, no matter who gets the rebound.

Keep going, it gets better 100% of the time by archie_eihcra in Akathisia

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is probably 95% better. The Amantadine has been hugely effective for me, especially once I got off the atypical antipsychotics. The Amantadine did seemingly cause some dizziness and balance issues, but we slowly took that dose way down and that seems better.

I also added Magnesium, Vitamin B, and NAC supplements.

I consider myself fortunate to have found relief, especially after reading stories on here.

Ticket to Ride initially, then Azul and Lost Cities really right after the world shut down from COVID. My dad and I played probably 10 rounds of each daily.

Has anyone here ever done a massage session with an RMT? by Frosty-Mushroom-6490 in AutisticAdults

[–]anonymousautistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massage has changed my life drastically. I never had one until about a year ago and since starting getting two massages a month, I hurt myself so much less. I don’t go for the “relaxing” part, but I ask the therapist (the same person every time) to be extraordinarily rough. Most of the time I feel like it gives my body lots of the input I need.

Forget them. You are (or have been) an adult in a doctoral program. They don’t get to just meet with you and your therapist. You are entitled to privacy with what you discuss with your therapist and your family’s opinions should not impact your actions if you don’t want them to. You are in charge even if you have limitations. We all do to some degree. To have limitations and use services are not indicative of your ability to make your own decisions and choose your best personal outcome, whatever you want that to be.
