How to Teach Enthusiasm to Basketball Players
Description
Episode 049: Do you know how to teach enthusiasm to your basketball players? Just like shooting, enthusiasm is a skill that needs to be coached and practiced.
In today’s episode, I share exactly how we break down our 18-week leadership system and give specifics on how we teach players to live our program’s core values.
We follow the “Think, Say, Do” system that teaches players how to be leaders by sharing research on enthusiasm, telling them concrete words to say, and providing specific actions for them to do. This takes the guess work out of leadership.
Think: “Enthusiasm is contagious!”
Say: “Let’s go!”
Do: “Give high-5’s”
Check out this week’s episode and learn:
- the research on enthusiasm done in the NBA with 294 players
- why Geno Auriemma believes its more difficult to recruit enthusiastic kids
