5. Get your team in peak physical shape - on the track, in the gym, in the weight room
Get your players uncomfortable while bonding and building mental/physical toughness
6. Maximize your court time!
Do whatever your state association allows you to do with your players… full team, small group, no basketballs, etc
7. Establish “How We Do Things” with your players
You can’t just flip a switch at the first official practice… running to the whistle, tucking in shirts, giving eye contact, whatever your secret sauce is
8. Trim your playbook… trim some more… and then some more
Most coaches have way too many plays
9. Commit to a personal exercise & diet routine
Time and energy are at a premium in season… with a builtin routine, you are more likely to see your habits through
10. Attend athletic competitions for your fall sports athletes
It’s great for the community to see your face and for your athletes to know you care
