Basketball Programming Philosophy

Coaching basketball is about strategizing and directing the movements and actions of a basketball team or individual player. Coaches strategize and scout opposing teams and find ways to defeat them as easily as possible. A successful basketball coach needs to now the understanding of how to play the game. A basketball coach must be able to manage the duties of the job by recruiting the top players, get them in shape, make a team, motivate players and teach them how to play the game of basketball. Coaching is usually done by a single person, with the help of one or more assistants. A coach is the face of the team, helping it achieve the public relations goals of the organization and build a positive image that will improve recruiting. (Edmunds). A coach is responsibiable for setting up and an environment so that the team can use its skills and abilities to their full potential. Therefor a coach has to make a game plan for each game, so that his team will be ready for the next opponent. A coach has to know his team and the opponent abilities to be able to match his team up with the opponent. A coach must know to mix the players who can start right away and players he can develop into starters. A coach may want to put 12-15 players on the roster just in case of injuries. To get ready for the season the coach starts putting in offensive and defensive plays the will run and teach the players situational plays to fit the team style and running practices. During a game a coach has

It is my job as a coach to help develop athletes physically, psychologically, and socially while helping them have fun by playing a sport. I will do this by being enthusiastic and having a positive attitude in practice, games, and while not coaching. This cooperative approach to coaching will create a sense of community within the team I coach, and the athletes will feel more welcome to discuss their thoughts, ideas, questions, and concerns with me. Creating this setting and relationships with athletes will only benefit the team by creating a team culture necessary for the well-being and success of high school sports’ teams. Success in sports means accomplishing goals set by the team, not winning. Winning is important, but just striving to win is even more vital toward the success of teams. As a coach, I will also be a motivator for athletes. Athletes will see me come to practice with a positive attitude, displaying my passion. This is the beginning of how I will motivate athletes. Motivation starts with my attitude, and athletes pick up on this. In order to motivate and want to be motivated, there must be a reason, a why? I will use the teams’ goals they will set, in order to motivate them to give their best effort in order to achieve success by reaching their

We're in the midst of spring and the weather these past few weeks have been erratic, one day it feels like summer and the following day it’s cold as winter. Still, the days are significantly longer. However the weather is the least of my concerns. Basketball season ended and the team came up short of the ultimate prize. I’ve been working twice as hard ever since then, improving at my craft. As a competitor, I look back and think what I could have done differently in order to help my team and change the outcome. Some things are out of our control. Yet, I believe everything happens for a reason. For now I just train, repetition after repetition until it becomes second nature. I took one step outside and a burst of wind blew across my body; sending

My family was born to play basketball, both of my brothers had the size and athleticism to play professionally, and my dad towered over others standing at 6’6”. At a young age I was expected to follow in their footsteps. However, I did not have the size that the rest of my family did, and struggled to compete due to my small stature. In the seventh grade I tried out for my middle school basketball team and was promptly told I wasn’t good enough to play. I came home crying feeling that I disappointed my family. The next year, during the eighth grade try-outs, the coach said the same thing and broke my heart for the second year in a row. Dissatisfied with these results, I promised that I would make a change before entering high school.

This past week I attended two different camps. The basketball camp was at NC State in North Carolina . NC State is an up-and-coming basketball program in the ACC . My goal is to play basketball at NC State for my college years. This is a very big goal for anyone because NC State is a prominent basketball program. Some say College basketball is something to high of a goal for me and that I should set easier goals but I would be setting myself up for failure if I set goals that are things that I wouldn't like. At camp we would wake up every morning at 7 and go to bed at 11. My body was sore from going to camp the week before but to succeed you have to be willing to outwork others. Some people have skill and talent. Talent is something you are

Sports have been a very big part of my life ever since I can remember. I began to participate in sports when I was about six years old. Now, thirteen years later, I’m a sophomore in college playing basketball at a Division 3 school. Through the years I have seen many different styles of coaching and teaching done by my mentors. The variety of different styles and how each one taught me throughout my years is astonishing to look back at. My coaching philosophy I believe would hit many aspects and could teach athletes important values in their life.

I would like to start by saying the basketball game was great. That was the first game I attended while here on exchange. Each of the theoretical perspectives were present in the game, and I was absolutely amazed to see how theory applies to our everyday lives.

Alright, fantasy basketball fans, it’s time to dive into some waiver wire action! Each week I’m going to give you all some lower owned players who I believe should be on your rosters. From Zach LaVine to Jae Crowder, there is a ton of guys still out there who can make an impact for you squad.

The purpose of this study is to examine the injuries of a professional basketball player throughout the season, and whether time spent in practice or in games was more likely to produce these injures. The goal is to determine how to reduce injuries, yet still allow for maximum effort, so that overall, every factor helps lead to championship opportunities.

Basketball Physical conditioning is considered one of the top 10 trends in fitness as amateur and pro athletes, sports coaches, parents, weekend warriors and adult recreationists all demand this new training style. Traditional fitness training is great for helping people look good and achieve basic fitness goals, but athletes of all levels abilities need a more sports-oriented training focus. Sports conditioning programs have become less sport-specific movement patterns and more about enhancing the physical tools for athleticism. For example, some coaches put kids under hard working and running drills, thinking that's going to enhance their physical tool, but meanwhile, they should be trying to enhance their sport movement skills, sports strength,

“ Are you ready for your field trip today,” asked Mrs. Granger, Brad’s mom. Best friends Brad and Kyle were going with their 4th grade class on a field trip to the Sports History Museum.

To be more specific, the athlete wants to improve intermittent high power output endurance, as this is the nature of basketball. Regarding training, the athlete trains on an undulated weight training model based on heart rate variability, and conditioning at this point is more low/moderate intensity aerobic work to not neglect this system in a highly anaerobic sport. All conditioning is done in a non-impact variety in targeted heart rate ranges. This would be considered an in-season strength and work capacity maintenance program, with the majority of the improvements desired from an endurance standpoint coming from getting into ‘basketball’ shape by practicing hard and competing.

The first thing we are going to work on is funmental things like; how to dribble, how to play defense, and our jump shots. The reason we are going to work on our dribbling, because if you can’t dribble you will turn the ball over. Dribbling is important in basketball. After we get done doing that, we’re going to work on our defense. When you play defense it stop the other team for scoring because defenses stop offense. Lastly, we have to work on is our jumps shots, because you can’t always do lay-ups.

I plan on being a great motivator to my students and players. In the classroom I will keep the class fun and keep the students engaged. Whether that is in the classroom and or in a Physical Education course I will make sure that my students are engaged and having fun. I feel like that is a lost art in teaching these days and I will incorporate into my philosophy. Students learn better when they enjoy learning about the topic. As a coach I will always encourage my players to do their very best and I will demand that from them. I will never tear down a player as long as they give me their best effort. My coaching philosophy will be “give me your best effort and you will get mine in return.” When I see kids giving their best effort who are trying to get better I will coach them up to the best of my ability. When their is a conflict with motivating a student or player I will remain positive and continue to push them. You never know what a kid is going through so my philosophy is to pick them up when they are down and encourage them to

Every athlete experiences at least one injury, from something as little as a pulled muscle to something as serious to a ligament tear. As a result of sports injuries, many star players have been sitting on the bench rather than getting into the game. A solution to this problem is a sports injury prevention program. Sports injury prevention programs have many beneficial effects on athletes, both mentally and physically. Sports injury prevention is a program that will help educate students about how to take care of their bodies, reduce injuries, and keeping not only themselves but others safe while playing sports. Sports injury prevention programs should be incorporate in training because they are important not only for athletes but for coaches
