Dead Period:

From Mon, 7/1 thru Sun, 7/7, we will be in a dead period. This means we’re not allowed to conduct any basketball-related activity (as mandated by state).

Our next open gym won’t be until Tue, 7/9.

Use this as an opportunity to do other things: cardio conditioning, weight training, pickup games, film study, etc.


Film Study:

Put that work in to master your craft!


Anatomy of a Great Player:

Do you think being skilled makes up a great basketball player? Unfortunately, lots of parents and players use this as their sole criteria.

The truth is this is wrong!

After coaching 30+ years, I’ve found that great players excel in 5 areas:

  1. Skill
  2. High basketball IQ
  3. Selfless
  4. Floor general
  5. Lead by example

Skill:
Player has super-strong basketball fundamentals.

High basketball IQ:
Player not only knows their playbook responsibilities, but everyone else’s, as well.

Selfless:
Player has mindset to always lookout for other teammates over self.

Floor general:
When actively playing, player is the coach on floor (instructing and helping others, when necessary).

Leads by example:
Be a model player that coach can point to as an example of excellence.

When I come across a player with these attributes, I’m drooling all over myself.

These are the players coaches use to build long-term, successful programs.


Coaching Staff:

Over the next week, we will be finalizing Seaforth’s basketball coaching staff (varsity and JV). In the next weekly update, expect to be updated.
