Description

Lesson #8 of the Building a Program Series - Communicating with Parents/Players - Openly, Honestly, and Often

This lesson is one of ten in our Building a Program series. This series focuses on a combination of off-court and on-court ideas that can take your program to the next level or build it from the ground up. These ideas have been built through 25 years of running a highly successful high school basketball program.

Each course in this series is a 2,000 word article that includes highly specific examples and ideas that can help you build your program. These writings are easy to read and are downloadable PDFs, so you can always save them. 

Here is a short excerpt from this lesson, titled Communicate Openly, Honestly, and Often:

"Knowing up front that your parents will have bias means that you can take one of two stances: communicate openly and often with an understanding of this bias, or avoid communication with parents at all costs. I highly recommend Option #1 even though it will be uncomfortable and awkward at times. And, of course, it requires boundaries."

This course is all about the power of communication within your program!
