    Just started digging into this concept when I came across your site last week. The podcast is an amazing way to start. After a couple days of listening to that, I joined the website as a member. I’m so excited to learn more and see how these ideas impact my athletes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP160: Representative Shooting Drills with Arkansas State Assistant Coach Anthony Goods
Q: What are some of the things that you were looking out for, especially as you prepare to pick up these high school players and the transfer portal too?
Focus on shooting ability and ball security in the portal and high school prospects, but also increasingly evaluate how they perform in more game-like, defended settings to gauge fit and potential.
EP156: Transforming the Athlete: NBA/NFL Consultant Dr. Craig Liebenson's Holistic Approach
Q: How do you balance variability with the need for some consistency in training?
Provide a Goldilocks level of challenge—not too easy, not too hard—and tailor difficulty to each athlete while keeping the collective practice adaptable.
EP156: Transforming the Athlete: NBA/NFL Consultant Dr. Craig Liebenson's Holistic Approach
Q: What is the most important lesson from working with pro teams?
Understand the culture and listen to the athlete more than anyone else; establish rapport first and translate complex ideas into accessible language so athletes can own their approach.
EP155: Warm-up Design with German Pro League Coach Domenik Theodorou
Q: Can you summarize your unwritten rules for a basketball warm-up?
The warm-up should be a problem to solve with a clear progression; it should not be identical every session, should build tissue temperature and CNS activation, rehearse game movements, and create a warm-up environment that mirrors basketball to bridge to drills.
EP153: The Gold Standard with Don Showalter
Q: So first question I have for you, for coaches coming into maybe taking a new job. How do you establish your standards over rules? And what is a practical step that coaches can take instead of being a dictator to more player-led?
Don explains that standards are positive targets while rules are restrictions, stressing that leaders should uphold standards consistently and involve players in the process to foster ownership.
