5 traditions to grow your 🏀 program’s CULTURE
1\ Charge Wall
In your locker room, hang pictures to celebrate every charge that gets taken (Take screenshot and print it out)
Make it a big deal when you physically hang the pictures up with the team
2\ Victory Song
Every time you win a game your team gets to “sing the song” in the locker room to celebrate
It’s a silly thing, but I’m telling you, everyone looks forward to it
3\ A Book Study
Go through a book, or portions of a book, each season as a team
The key is having a ready-made concept to rally around as a group
The book sells the concept to the group, then your team embodies the concept through the season
4\ Program Record Book
Score your drills, and ,aintain the exact structure/format from season to season
This forces players to compete against not only their teammates, but the history of the program
5\ Game Awards
Give awards for each game, but instead of celebrating points, glamorize the dirty work stats - charges taken, rebounds, or an intangible like toughness
Celebrate the awards in both the locker room and on social media
