Hoopin Through the Break

This past week of coaching there had been some ups and downs. We saw out first loss and we had our first win. Although we were able rebound from our loss, it is really important that my team continue to make good basketball plays and work on mastering the fundamentals of basketball. 

We've got two really important weeks of basketball ahead of us. This upcoming week is a short one. With two games in three days. But the opponents we are about to face are a force to be reckoned with. Then the following week, most players will be traveling out of town and not playing any hoops for 7-10 days. Following that week we'll be right back into the swing of things and playing games as if there was no winter vacation. The guys who work on their game during the off week will truly see returns on their investment. 

As a way to provide guys with a way to improve their game during the off week of vacation, I am going to be opening the gym to players. Hopefully there will be a strong showing of players who want to work on their game, improve, and master some fundamentals. As important as it is to have balance of playing ball, it will be important for the players to spend some time with their families. But spending most of your time cooped up in the house with them during the break might lead to a lot of lounging around. The guys who don't pick up a ball, run, or stay active, well, they'll...

Hopefully the vacation week will provide the guys who are sticking around this vacation with multiple opportunities to get ahead of their peers who will not be in the gym.
