It’s the end of April—when your summer either becomes organized improvement or random workouts. In this episode, Coach breaks down a simple tool called the Summer Scoreboard to make sure your players don’t just “show up”… they actually level up. May gets chaotic fast: AAU, jobs, vacations, and shifting schedules. If you don’t set your standards and tracking now, you’ll be chasing consistency all summer. Effort is not the same as growth. The Summer Scoreboard measures progress, not just attendance. Skill Work Strength + Durability Competition Reps Habits + Leadership 2 skill workouts 2 strength sessions 1 compete day 1 leadership habit Whiteboard in the gym OR shared Google Sheet Names down the left, weeks across the top Quick 2-minute weekly update: what went well + what’s next To players: “This summer isn’t about hours. It’s about progress. We’re tracking skill work, strength, competition, and habits. If you want to play more next season, win the summer with work you can prove.” To parents: “We’re building structure and accountability. Here’s the schedule, what we measure, and how you can support your kid.” End of April is when you set the rules of the summer. If you measure the right things, you won’t guess who improved—you’ll know.
