Holmes Court Advantage: Do it Better

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015/04/do-it-better.html

Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Whatever it is that you "do" as a player and whatever it is that you are supposed to do as a player, commit to it and do it better than anyone else on the court, when you are on the court, every time you are on the court . Only then will your skill become an art because you would have made your skill second nature, thus allowing you to focus on the true task at hand - playing basketball as a game, but approaching it as an art.

Holmes Court Advantage: May 2015

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Basketball is the ultimate team, individual and role sport. In fact, it's one of maybe a handful of sports you can maximize your personal, individual output and potential, yet fall embarrassingly short of mastering the "game" of basketball. Why is this? Well, it really quite simple. Basketball is a team sport in which every player on the team has a job to do. Confusing I know, but consider this -. First, mastering an art is much different than mastering a skill. On the other hand,.

Holmes Court Advantage: A Coach's Vow

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015/04/a-coachs-vow.html

Thursday, April 9, 2015. X’s and O’s are only the beginning…. I use the game to teach, encourage and inspire. I integrate personal and team challenges. I constructively criticize and passionately congratulate. Coaching is personal to me, so I want it to be personal to them, so, accordingly, I make it personal. I treat all my players equally, but treat them differently because I recognize they are different. I expect my players to commit to themselves, teammates me and the game. Thursday, April 09, 2015.

Holmes Court Advantage: Proper Prior Preparation Predetermines Player Performance

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015/04/proper-prior-preparation-predetermines.html

Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Proper Prior Preparation Predetermines Player Performance. As a player, are you prepared to win? At the end of the game, the score won't tell you what you really need to know about a particular player, but how the player plays during the game, or should I say performs, is quite revealing. You don’t have to win, but you always have to try to win - that is what is expected. How can you tell whether a player is trying to win the game? Are you preparing to perform?

Holmes Court Advantage: March 2015

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 26, 2015. The Difference: Coaching the Player’s Experience. Every player's experience is different. Every career is a different. Story in and of itself. And roller coaster rides with highs, lows, ups and downs, so the emotions are different. The games within games are different. Streaks happen, winning and losing, but even the wins and losses are different. Games are always different. And are nothing more than a collection of different,. Every possession is different. Lay on a sunny beach.

Holmes Court Advantage: The Off-Season at the Grassroots Level

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015/04/the-off-season-at-grassroots-level.html

Thursday, April 2, 2015. The Off-Season at the Grassroots Level. Why do I think this often stated mindset is inapplicable to this group? Consider the following - A player in the 7th grade during the winter will play for his school team and/or area travel team. This season will occupy mid-October through February, and maybe to the middle of March. A player may play any where from 20-40 games during this time period. Thursday, April 02, 2015.

Holmes Court Advantage: Message to Coaches: Let Them Play

http://www.holmescourtadvantage.com/2015/04/message-to-coaches-let-them-play.html

Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Message to Coaches: Let Them Play. The saying "let them play" is misunderstood in coaching. The fact is many coaches do know not what it means or how it relates to coaching. As a result, coaches often dismiss how they - as a coach - should act and what they should, or should not do when it comes to letting players play. Here's some advice. Initially, there should be no action per se from the coach - none whatsoever. However, there should be a "call to action.". When players listen...
