The Why Is Everything

Gen Z wants the "Why." 

(born roughly 1997–2012) is defined by being the first digital native generation, having grown up with ubiquitous internet, smartphones, and social media from a young age."

Apply this to our coaching:

1) "Without skill, we're a "bucket brigade" with empty buckets."

2) Strategy demands "know your job" to do your job. "We practice passing so much because excellent teams are strong passing teams." 

3) Physicality (athleticism) "leverages" skill and strategy. Quickness, strength, and conditioning make everything you do more effective. Have a plan, execute your plan, track the results. 

4) Psychology includes mental toughness or "resilience." Players and teams able to reach within themselves for "one more" play with the match on the line earn time on the court.
