Building a Program Series: Do Extra and Then Talk About It

Lesson #4 of the Building a Program Series - Do Extra and then Talk About It

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 Do Extra and then Talk About It:

"Until last year, he held the school record for most threes in a game with nine and still holds other three-point shooting records. He did extra. And, I talked about it all the time. I am convinced he made so many shots for two reasons: first, he made himself a great shooter, and second, he actually believed that he DESERVED to make every shot because of all the extra time he put in.  His morning shooting was the impetus for me to make a point to do extra whenever possible and then to talk about it later. These things gave us an edge. They gave us a reason that we should win. They gave us belief."

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