What’s the biggest difference between being a coach and a trainer
I’m curious what you guys think is the biggest difference between the two, and what are some skills you think translate well to both sides?
How would you answer this question??
What separates a good player from a great player in your opinion?

I’d say it’s the hate of losing and being willing to make that extra effort even when there’s nothing left in the tank. It’s doing all the little things that don’t show up on the stat sheet.
How important is it for players to trust their trainer?
I think an important part of being a trainer beyond good drills and structuring a great workout is the relationship you build with your players. You can have a well planned session, but if the players don’t buy into what you’re teaching, it becomes difficult to get the best out of them. Being a trainer definitely requires knowledge and technical skill, but just as important is the ability to connect with players on a personal level. Showing that you genuinely care about them not only as athletes, but as individuals off the court.
Where would you go??
I used to think about this question all the time when I was a kid. If you were a 5 star and could go to any school in the country where would you go? Also what would be more important to you, the receiving of NIL or the preparation for the NBA?

For me not being from the States, I don’t have as much familiarity with different college programs. However, based on what I’ve seen, I would say Kentucky, especially considering how many high-level guards that have come out of their program. Preparing for the NBA would be my top priority, so I would look for schools that has a strong track record of developing players and helping them transition to the next level.
Weight Lifting 🏋️‍♀️
What age should kids start getting in the weight room? I have heard many times that it stunts growth but also have heard the sooner kids get in the quicker that receive results. What are your guys thoughts?

I personally think there’s no right age to start lifting, it really depends on the kid and what kind of weight training programs you put them on. I think starting with body weight workout is always good since it builds fundamental strength and can easily translate into weight lifting later on.
