White board break down. I will add some live action videos below.
@CoachWheel Yes sir, I’d love to see. This is step one is a long progression of dodge, chase and avoid drills that I stole from @Nick__DiMarco a few years ago. My new situation I don’t have as much space nor time so just trying to navigate and adjust!.

Great stuff from Coleman. A skill trainer who understands skill acquisition.
99% of players are WASTING of time in the gym. Here's how to improve way faster, according to science ➡️.

Sport and training can be a dance between fierce competitiveness and joyful play. Coaching is learning when to dial up one vs the other.

Thinking there needs to be a progression from simple change of direction to a reactionary drills is not giving athletes enough credit (& boring them to death). Start with live drills and fill in gaps where you see them struggle. This is a group of MS athletes. This is day 1.

You definitely look like a sculpted greek god by doing 4x10 of a basic circuit with 25 lbs dumbbells.

Traveling to play better competition is the under current that clubs use to feed this business model.
Unless your AAU team has Division I prospects you SHOULD NOT, in my opinion, ever be playing games 5+ hours from your home state. The draw of "circuits" along with the inability of coaches/parents/players to evaluate their own level is actively HURTING the recruitment of players.

Speed training for prepubescent kids is most effective within play. Save the formal speed training when they have the athletic awareness and emotional maturity to apply feedback of specific motions.
Roller hockey, ice hockey, floor ball, boot hockey, soccer, futsal, volleyball, basketball and repeat. No speed trading, dryland, tactical, change balls surfaces, sticks, pucks and goal sizes (but always with a goalie). Do this and change the world (again)

Coach your athletes to disguise their change of direction until the very last second. Then practice it at different speeds and angles, mainly with a defender trying to stop them.

If you want to build love for sport, play and exploration are the foundation. Creating pro youth sports essentially puts a timer on when they burn out.
Things started going downhill when free play, backyard games, and playgrounds that were critical in developing fundamental movement and body awareness were replaced with pro youth sports with an emphasis on technical and tactical awareness. Sport based groups do little to arm.

A major issue with travel sports. They roll their ankle or have some injury that should keep them out for a week. They've already booked flight, hotel, & tourny fees. They feel obligated to play through the injury, often 3-6 games in 1 weekend. The injury gets much worse.

As kids, adults would remind any short player not to give up on the NBA because Muggsy Bogues made it at 5'3". Imagine your 5'9.5" self trying to do anything on the court with this dude on the other team.
Amen Thompson’s Year 2 highlights are honestly insane —. Athleticism is off the charts. 🔥🔥🔥. (via @UsherNBA).

The illusion that you need to play travel for better competition is a farce. It is reserved for genetic freaks who need to find other genetic freaks. If others aren’t shocked at your child’s age for their ability/physicality, they aren’t genetic freaks.
We have to start being honest. For 95% of players travel bball is simply really expensive recreation bball. It just makes people feel better to say my kid plays travel ball. In reality, the golden ticket to development is in recreation, not the high ticket item!.
