As a player, do you ever aspire to become a coach? Do you want to share your knowledge and experience to mold players to improve and become successful?
If you're already a coach, do you regularly take inventory on your and your teams skills and weaknesses and develop a written plan to enhance their performance?
I've written before about Dr. Atul Gawande's terrific book "Checklist Manifesto" that examines the use of checklists in industry, aviation, medicine, construction, and other fields to optimize results. Dr. Gawande wrote another book, "Better" that looks at how some systems have specifically improved (but not perfected) results.
Within our basketball middle school program, the coaches develop rating systems for player skills and we regularly introduce new drills and methods working on specific weaknesses or needs for our teams. For example, we need to shoot better, and we need to be able to apply and withstand defensive pressure to become the best team we can be.
