Sometimes you give and sometimes you take

What?

I`m talking about energy this week I have been working alot and with a bad shoulder its not the most fun you could do, but necessery since money is needed there is no pardon.

Tires as hell I stopped work 17:30 today and had practise at 18:00 with boys 98 and if I didn`t have any energy before pactise THEY gave me energy and all of a sudden I wasn`t tired at all I was out there sweating and giving instructions and making them go harder in each drill.

Thats whats great about a team if you are out of energy the rest of the team can give it to you and there are always somebody with lots of energy and always giving. Normally I`m as a coach are always one of them, but sometimes since we coaches also are humans we need to get a energyboost frm somebody and today I got it from my team and it was 1½ hour of pure pleasure and we had a great practise once again.

Now home I´m so tired so I dont even know why a write this text, but I´m sqeezing the last energy out of my body and head to write this and I will soon find my bed and have nice dreams a hope.

By the way today I did something I have laughed so much at other for doing. I dropped my cellphone in the toilette...not good at all. :-)

That winning feeling

...well had a game today with my boys 98 and as "usual" we where gonna play a team with just 97 born players and if you ever coached this ages, you now how huge the pshysical differences are in just this age. Just one year is a huge difference.

We have had really good pratices last 2 weeks and ( Coach Enbom has written a blog about quality practises ) and I have added some pieces to their toolbox. Just before our game the mens team had practise and I think my kids impressed som of them since they stayed for awhile and watched.

We played really adult i offense moving the ball very well and attacking and shooting at the right times. Sometimes we drop a little in balltempo, but since we play without any screens at all, this is not so strange. I have nothing against screens, I love screens....but I want them to learn movement without the ball and spacing and more before we go to any screens in our offense.

Biggest problem in the game is that the other team zagg off our players and they are most of them much taller and we get "confused" in shootselections since we are open on every ballcatch. We had som bad shoots, but like I wrote before we played adult and smart.

Defense is extremelly hard since we are so much smaller, but today we played much tougher, but boxing out is a problem when there is 1 year, 20kg and 30cm height difference :-) But, they tried....

This was our first win against a 97 team and we had the shivers in the last minutes and they came closer and closer, but you have to get used to winning to be able to handle the "pressure" in the end off games.

We won today with 3points and believe me if we played like we did today and lost I would smile all the way home anyway. Now I got double joy since we played well and won also......can`t wait until next practise.

I´m not surprised at all....

....that Sødertalje Kings are in the top of the Swedish league. They got 6-0 start of the season and if they can keep their players healthy the whole season, they will be a pain in the ass for everybody.



As headcoach Vedran Bosnic is doing his first season, but its one of many season on toplevels where he has had to work hard to succeed. He hade a long and good playing career and has played in many countries and for many different coaches, he is well prepaired. He used to work hard as a player, now its the same but as a coach.

He really has my respect, he knows the game and he is not a "babysitter" he`s a coach.

Most of the teams in the Swedish league dont have the budget as LF basket or Norrkøping got, but once you know that, you have a choice to make and some things to find out.

If we dont have the money, what can we do så we can compete with the rest of the teams with much bigger budgets and for Coach Bosnic, the answer is simply!

Practise hard and work harder than the rest.

I think its great since they show that its NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, but sure it helps, but if you prepaire and practise hard you can always shake what shouldn`t be able to be shook.
