Hey all — Typically when there’s a gap between posts, it’s because I’m on the road (and, I always feel that I should only write when I have something substantive to say). Well, I just got a really nice reminder this from a friend, and basketball coach, that sometimes it’s nice to drop a quick …
Just back in from a wonderful week of basketball in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). I went there to spend time working with the athletes and coaches who participate in Canada Basketball’s Centre for Performance in that region. And, along the way, I was able to stop off in Toronto to catch up with some old friends …
Really enjoyed this article, The Everything Push-Up, by Nick Tumminello and was able to walk away with some very good ideas for training: “The other day I decided to break from my low carb ways and have a bagel. Bagels aren’t normally my first choice as a splurge food, but I got a weird craving. …
I had this article from the NYTimes.com sent to me from a couple of people and thought it best to share. It’s the story of one athlete, that is the story of so many others. New York Times – “Delle Donne was the nation’s top female high school basketball recruit, a signee with the University …
OLYMPICS Olympic basketball… hopefully you were able to watch many of the games – especially between two non-US teams. I did when I could, but was at the whim of the NBC broadcast which limited me to only the games that USA was playing in. I will reserve much of my subjective thoughts to myself …
Alright… I’m back. The past 10-weeks have been a whirlwind tour that’s taken me all over the US with Point Guard College. In one stretch, we went from Denton, TX, to Providence, RI; only to jump right into back-to-back sessions in Thousand Oaks, California. With each day being 18-20-hours, followed by a cross country jaunt …
I’m looking for some help. At dinner last night, this question was posed to the group: Where does the name “point guard” come from and when was it originally used? I didn’t know and still don’t have an answer. To give you a little background, this same question was asked of the likes of John …
The NYTimes.com has done a very thought provoking series on the “reality” of sport scholarships in the NCAA. Take a look at a few of these links as they will help to shed light and dispel several of the misconceptions about what it means to be a scholarship athlete: — It’s Not an Adventure, It’s …
4:55am… up early with the wheels spinning. Ideas abound. I wasn’t going to share this one, but after chatting with some friends recently, I thought “Why not!?” I can’t sleep anyway, so consider this my late night (or early morning) ‘message in a bottle’ that I’m tossing out to whomever may be interested. I should …
I love this thought from Bill Hartman’s blog: “Barriers aren’t there to prevent one from being successful. They are there to identify those who want it bad enough.“ … This has been my longest stint in Cayman (10-days!) since moving down here in July. And, with that, I’ve finally had a chance to bounce around …
