New coaching position
I recently accepted a JV girls basketball coaching position after coaching girls middle school for 3 years. When taking over a new team, what do you prioritize first: culture, conditioning, offensive system, defensive identity, or skill development? Why?
Professional Development
For someone whose long-term goal is to coach or work in player development at the collegiate level, what experiences are considered “must-haves”? Is it better to volunteer at camps, network at clinics, reach out to coaches directly, or something else?

@Joseph Wunder I have networked around my community. I will be going to some coaching clinics soon to learn and network there. I also have reached out to coaches to try and volunteer at their camps in any way possible but that hasn’t really been to successful. I would love to know the many ways of how I can get my “foot in the door”, I know that is key (plus networking while I’m there).
Favourite skill to teach
What is the skill or concept that you enjoy teaching players the most? and what is it about said skill/concept you enjoy?

@Jayden Smith most definitely, I love seeing the kids develop better footwork, balance and body control when working on these things
Player development plan
When a new athlete walks into your gym, what’s your evaluation process? Are you assessing skills, basketball IQ, movement, athleticism, or all of the above? How do you use those results to build their development plan?
Player IQ
How do you teach basketball IQ instead of just hoping players develop it?

@Daniel Cooper That’s something I’m trying to be more intentional about as a coach/trainer. What are some of your favorite game-like drills or constraints you use to help players improve their decision-making and basketball IQ?
