Ep 2043 you built a conditioning plan for them, so where is yours?

from Basketball Coach Unplugged (A Basketball Coaching Podcast) · host Teachhoops.com

https://teachhoops.com/ A retired coach on the difference between the November version of you and the February version, and how to keep them closer together. SHOW NOTES After thirty seven years, Coach Steve Collins can finally see the thing he could not see while he was inside it: he planned five months of conditioning for his players and nothing at all for himself. This episode is an honest look at what actually empties a coach's tank, which is almost never the games, plus a practical energy plan for a long season and the one signal that tells you you are running on empty. What we cover: • The November coach and the February coach are different people, and your team can feel it • What really drains you: the email, the scheduling, the conflict, the paperwork on a Sunday • Building recovery into the week, including one day you do not talk about basketball • Handing assistants real work instead of hoarding it out of fear • Sleep, eating at the gym, keeping one non basketball person, and no film at two in the morning This week's challenge: Block one day on your calendar where basketball is not allowed, and protect it like you protect a game night. Resources: Practice plans, drills, courses, and on court clinics at https://teachhoops.com/ Recorded at the Fifth Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin.
