## Resource

Greg Tonagel, one of college basketball's most accomplished coaches, discussing his coaching philosophy centered around habits and fearlessness. Be sure to check out his All Access coaching video series available at gregtonagelbasketball.com and immersionvideos.com , offering an inside look into championship-level program building. Greg Tonagel shared how he transformed his approach from focusing on behavior modification to developing habits that drive success, explaining his shift from using a "box" mentality to a "line" approach that emphasizes growth and movement rather than categorizing players as either in or out of expectations. The conversation covered practical examples of habit formation, including defensive techniques like "walling" at the rim, and offensive habits like creating for teammates, while addressing how to measure and reinforce these behaviors through practice and game situations. Tonagel also discussed his approach to in-game coaching, emphasizing the importance of leading through belief in players rather than over-coaching, and shared insights about managing player development while navigating the current challenges in college basketball.
