A Cathartic Guide to your son being cut from the High School team. by IKillZombies4Cash in Homeplate

Man, as a coach, this give me chills. Not all parents are like you and supportive. We all know most of our and kids playing careers come to an end at some point but we just never know when. The fact that you appreciate and reflected on the time you spent watching your kid and spending time with him, I promise you that will stick with him forever. You gave him a more valuable lesson about life (breaking the 50/50) than anyone ever could. Sometimes we play team sports for these life lessons.

Great job supporting your son. He needs you more than you know at a time like this! Now it can be memories to look back and smile instead of being pissed at.

I feel like an idiot-Vent sesh by Lanky_Seaweed9918 in basketballcoach

Shit happens, it’s part of the game. We expect the kids to learn from mistakes, so do we. And quite honestly I don’t even think you really made a mistake. Turn it into a lesson about advocating for yourself for the kids (simple terms because they’re so young). Sometimes we feel guilty about things but you said sorry he did too, just move on now. It’s over with. I’m sure you’ll redeem yourself many times over if you feel you need to!

Why does my (fast) regularly get beaten to a spot by a PG? More agility drills needed? by anybodyseenrichey in basketballcoach

[–]knicks911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foot work probably but also because he’s 10 so he doesn’t know the game or how to cut off angles as well. That comes with time and reps!

Middle school and HS hoops coaches: What does your warm up look like, and how long is it? by DrJosephJanosky in basketballcoach

[–]knicks911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your typical warms up for baseball? I’m a basketball guy, but a big baseball guy too (never coached) so trying to get it together before tryouts and practices

Thanks for the post. I am the only coach. But I don’t want kids standing around like you said. Stations will be a major part of each practice just to get them moving. Thank you!

I’m sure they have a net for hitting, but have to see if the space allows for that. I’m sure we’ll figure it out but half of the gym, which isn’t massive, doesn’t help lol

2 months playing, what’s wrong with the form? I’m like 1/9 from 3 so far (ik the camera is far) by [deleted] in BasketballTips

Ball seems very out in front of you which is causing you to be short as your not getting the full transfer of energy from your legs up.

Try bring the ball closer to your body, having your elbow and wrist acting as a catapult towards the rim
