What if you built your first two weeks backwards from opening night?

From Basketball Coach Unplugged (A Basketball Coaching Podcast) Teachhoops.com

Most coaches plan practice forwards and run out of calendar, so here is how to start at game one and work your way back.

SHOW NOTES

Ask most coaches how many practices they have before their first game and you get a guess. That guess is exactly why the Thursday before the opener turns into a panic session where you cram four installs into ninety minutes. In this two part episode, Coach Steve Collins builds the first two weeks in reverse, starting with the date of game one and working back to what has to be true by then.

What we cover:

• Counting your real practices instead of your calendar days

• The difference between your install list and your functional list

• Using "what will beat us in game one" to organize everything

• Why habits and sequencing come before any play you love

• The day ten test that tells you if you are ahead or behind

This week's challenge: Write the date of your first game on a page, count the practices you actually have, and cross one thing off your install list.
