@Joseph Wunder One thing I try to take away, is players using too much of their shoulders in their shot. Seeing if they can generate more of their power from their lower body,

@Joseph Wunder I agree that sessions are better when players show effort. I guess to that point then these players that don't have "it" will phase themselves out. Whether that's out of in game rotations or even reducing practice reps. I've found with those who struggle with effort will connect the dots when you take away things that they want (reps, playing time). These are things that are earned, not given. Some of the other things that I have found helpful is giving definition to my players about what effort looks like in the context of their role. For example, I might have a role player whose job is to set screens. So, for them. great effort is setting screens that create advantages for your players (on or off ball). Something like is I find is best done at the start of a campaign or block of training. Clearly outline expectations and what meeting/exceeding expectations looks like. Then it's on the players to do what is needed to meet that

@Joseph Wunder With players i'm looking at, I'm usually able to watch their games or clips on Synergy. Which is awesome for finding film beyond what stats show

@Daniel Cooper ATM I'm using Synergy

Will definitely give this a read/listen. From the comments, sounds like there is some great ideas here

@Daniel Cooper I've found film to be a great teacher for showing the concept. Then in a practical sense, Ill replicate common scenarios and let players try to see it (this usually involves me acting as the defender they need to read off of). I like to encourage organic learning where possible. I can't be on the court for them lol.

@Daniel Cooper Yea definitely. I've had players that learn better seeing a concept on film. Vs walking through it on the floor. Or even watching it being walked through. And some I've had learn by just listening to the explanation of a concept. It's always fascinating to see

Advocating for film as well. It's also important to notice or be aware of how some people learn. I have some athletes that are great with understanding something after seeing it on film. But then others who need to walk through it or prefer it being verbally explained. So, I've found that I've had more success developing IQ of players when I know the best way to deliver information to them in a way that they can best take it in and apply it.

@Daniel Cooper For team film. I find it more beneficial if I can capture identifying themes of an upcoming opponent as opposed to every single set they run. I want to make sure I'm showing the most important things for players to know. For individual film. I'll compile it in a way that highlights things we do and opportunities to grow. Most of my individual film usually revolves around how we attack a particular concept. I find short and succinct film to be the most effective. I take a less is more approach and make sure every clip is supported by a note explaining what I see so players can rewatch in their own time.
