Discussing Passing Variability with a Euroleague Player … the passing in live/non live drills should Match passing in games. So varying the speed, seams, location of passes allows shooters to get game like shots

I posted this on Instagram the other day and thought I’d share it here as well. The buzz amongst trainers and coaches is now constraint learning, differential learning, etc (even though it’s been around for decades). To me, shooting should always have variability in it and 2 easy ways to do that is to vary the location, pace, seams of the pass and also vary the shooters stance (split, skinny,wide)

One of my clients is getting ready to play U18 FIBA 3x3 overseas this summer and so I put together a quick film edit of the difference between ‘sets/triggers’ and ‘Transition’ in FIBA 3x3 It reminded me of the many reasons I started using FIBA 3x3 for development around 10 years ago. The quickness of the decisions, accountability to 1v1 defense, not to mention that you can run every 2-3 man game offensively out of it. It’s so freakin good!!

If you haven’t taken a look at our free Character DNA course, I’d urge you to take a look.

Such a good sentiment from former Bulls head Coach Billy Donovan. You let your team down, not because you make mistakes, but when you make a mistake and let it affect your energy/attitude/effort for the next 3 or 4 plays. Thats selfish, and to be part of a good team, you need to be selfless.
