## Resource

This conversation was an opportunity to bring a typically offline discussion I have with coaches online to share with you. In it, Jared Mocaby from Kansas Select got to ask me a bunch of questions about youth basketball coaching strategies. We discussed solution-based coaching approaches, emphasizing the importance of letting players figure out problems rather than giving direct instructions, and the value of playing full-court transition basketball during practices. The discussion covered topics including shot selection, position development, the balance between winning and player development, and the overuse of tournament play versus focused practice time. We explored how to implement constraint-based training and reduce reliance on traditional drills, while addressing the challenges of coaching younger players (10-12 years old) and managing parent expectations. The conversation concluded with recommendations for reducing tournament participation while increasing development-focused practice time, and the importance of monetizing coaching positions to support better player development.
