Thank goodness for my handy notebook. Players that attend my trainings or played on my teams are familiar with my handy notebooks. I have a tendency to write everything down. I have a collection of notebooks of ideas, speeches, quotes, basketball plays, basketball drills, and whatever I was thinking that day.
For basketball, it’s where I write out the quote of the day and the training or practice plan. It’s were I write down the lineup of players I want on a specific team during practice. This is something I got from my college coaches at the University of Memphis. At every practice, the coaches came in with the practice plan and the quote of the day. Before practice started all the players and coaches huddled up around the center of the court and went over the quote of the day. When practice was over, we went back to the center of the court and received the announcements. So it was a routine I decided to employ when I became a coach.
