Working with a lot of young players these days, I’ve noticed an increase in foul baiting. I understand where it comes from kids are watching the NBA and see players using it to their advantage at the highest level. However, it raises an important question: how do we teach young athletes the essence of the game while addressing behaviors like foul baiting?

I’m a big believer that kids should play multiple sports instead of specializing early. I know some people disagree and think they should focus on just one. What are your thoughts on this? And if you agree with multi-sport development, which sport do you think translates best to basketball?

Everyone says to elevate your basketball knowledge you must watch film! I completely agree but I am curious what do you guys look for when watching film?

I recently heard this quote that says "It's not about the grades you get, its about the hands you shake" I share this to show you guys can be the greatest basketball trainer in the world but if you can't build or maintain a relationship its hard to gains player or parents trust. Please share your thoughts on this quote in the comments!
