I coach girl’s varsity basketball at a small private school. And today before practice our players were talking about how they were having a rough day. So I saw this as an opportunity to sit them down and talk a little bit about life.
To make a long story short the players openly expressed their feelings and I shared some my experiences with them. And we talked about how to encourage a teammate who is having a rough day.
My question to coaches is…Is there ever a time that you sit your players down and talk about life and how it relates to basketball. If you haven’t you should try it and you may learn more about your players.
