Coaching Wisdom

This past weekend I had an opportunity to meet (and listen to) two brilliant basketball minds: Jeff Van Gundy and Brad Stevens. I was overwhelmingly impressed, as they both offered invaluable insight into what it takes to be successful on and off the court. Here are the highlights: 

Jeff Van Gundy Wisdom (old school)

1.    Defend
2.    Rebound
3.    Low turnovers
4.    Play inside-out
5.    Get the best shot
1.    Adjusted FG % (taking 3 point shooting into account)
2.    FT’s made
3.    Turnovers
4.    Rebound %
Brad Stevens Wisdom (new school)
In most areas of the country, official practices start in 4 to 6 weeks. How are you preparing?

Train hard, train smart.
