Had a strange hot weekend

Well was supposed to work last saturday extra at my work, but that changed into giving the shift away and babysitting my sisters daughter in Sweden.

Hot like hell both in denmark and in sweden and whiel still in sweden this afternoon my phone rang and it was one of players on the phone: "I`m been bored all weekend can you come and train me in the gym?"

F**k second player from the team that has called me and asked this is for me on of the biggest things since I started coaching 18 years ago. "My answer I`m in Sweden, but cant you call someone on the team?"

I found out he did and they where up in a gym playing 3vs3 great stuff.

Tomorrow I will have the final young coaches academy for this season and the young coaches that will attend will have practical exercise with my boys.

15minutes in drilling them and I will give them feedback good and BAD and give them concrete ideas on what to do instead and so on, will be great fun. Just to bad that everyone cant attend, but thats just how it is.

Have started putting together the second Workout I have taped so far, but babysitting messed up my plan to be finished this weekend.
I call it "big"man series, so keep you eyes open.

Workout: Steve Nash Series

Have started to record some workouts I put together several years ago for my 98 boys, so they can practise wherever they will be this summer. There will be at least 6 more recorded and put up on the tube.

I call this one Steve Nash Series since it has a lot of hand eye coordination drills and he was/is a great passer and that has a lot to do with how coordinated eyes hands, feet are. So hope you like it, its not pro made and no retakes but made out of passion for the game.

A great friday

Had a meeting on the afternoon and after that I went to a gym nearby to have a induvidual workout with a player born 1995, it was the first of several workouts we will have to get him ready for the nationalteam tryouts.

We went for almost an hour which was a little bit to long, but I needed to see certain things in the first workout to be able to plan the others.

He did well and has the heart and inteligens to learn and learn quickly, so thats great since there are lots of small details that he lacks to do certain things very well.

And thats a general problem with players. Many have to skills but they are not polished to their maximum and so they cant get nothing out of them in games.
It could be that they have a perfect crossover, but dotn have the perfect footwork to use with the perfect crossover.

It could be that they have a very quick first step, but they cant use it since they dont bend their legs or once again have the proper footwork to explode past defenders.

It could be they have a great shot, but when they move to shot the ball they almost never score the shots, but standing still...spooting up they are fine.

Maybe they only can use the cross step when they attack, so they can only attack one side of their defender...

The list goes on....but thats where individual traning (WITH CORRECTIONS) is so important with a coach that sees the problem and find some solution to fix it.

The list goes on and on....

Directly after that practise I hade teampratise with my boys98 and we had a great practise getting some teamaspects of the game in place. Adding some tools to their toolbox.....

Directly after that is was time for my new team in boys 93/94 and since it was my second practise witht hem, we have lots of stuff to memorize and put in their toolboxes. It went well and I`m looking forward to next practise.

Now sleep, sleep and sleep :-)
