When
searching for a way to approach creating team rules, I found the following
article at http://www.coachlikeapro.com/basketball-team-goals.html,
written by Brad Winters.
Basketball team goals are very powerful! Team
goals have the power to promote team unity, to create loyalty to the program
and to the coach, to improve the intensity and quality of practices, and to
create the mind-set that the team is bigger than any one individual.
Establishing and Setting Basketball Team Goals
Simply put, for programs to be successful over the long haul, the
coach must set clear goals for himself and his team. These goals incorporate
the coach's vision, his mission, and the foundation that his program is built
on. Once written down, these goals will provide the coach and his team with a
compass that points everyone involved with the program in the right direction.
These goals also reveal the amount of hard work, time, and personal sacrifice
everyone involved with the program must make in order for the team to achieve
its dreams.
It is the coach's job to constantly sell these goals to his
players and support group daily. Your ability to sell your vision (team goals)
of where you wish your program to go, will eventually determine your success or
failure as a coach.
Long-Term Basketball Team Goals
The best coaches make goals that are both long and short-term.
Long-term goals give you something to shoot for. For example, "win the
state championship."
Short-Term Basketball Team Goals
Short-term goals help you keep on track and allow you to
experience success and build confidence as you work towards your long-term
goal: "We will hold our opponents to 12 or fewer points per quarter."
Short-term goals are the building blocks in which you build your program and
what you emphasize every day in practice... This is what you plan to be good
at.
Goal setting requires some thought and serious effort. Take time
to plan your success journey today. You'll be glad you did!
