Minnesota Lynx 'Loop' Play

By -
Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeves shows us her 'Loop' play.  We run a side ball screen, continuity offense, so something like this could be a great quick hitter to get us in our stuff.

 This also has a post up option for the guard, which is good for us because we have a couple of big guards who are good in the post.

Maybe It's My Fault

One of my favorite Michael Jordan commercials is his, "Maybe It's My Fault" commercial. Michael says,  "Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasn't. Maybe I made you think that my highlights started at the free-throw line and not in the gym. Maybe I made you think that every shot that I took was a game-winner, that my game was built on flash and not fire. Maybe it's my fault that you didn't see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God-given gift and not something that I worked for every single day of my life." This is my favorite commercial because it made Jordan real. MJ was such a super-hero to so many of us, but this commercial made me realize that Jordan was not born the great basketball player who ever lived - he worked hard to become the greatest basketball player who ever lived. He tried, he failed, and he tried again. His failure fuel...

A Coach's Job Is Never Done

A lot of coaches don't really sleep. When they finally stop watching film, stop analyzing the last practice, stop preparing for the next practice, and stop looking at their budgets, and grades, and fundraising, they close their eyes and that is when the thoughts just don't stop. - I should have done this ... - I should have done that ... - Could I have done this better? - I should have done that better ... - I hope __________ knows I love them and just want what's best for them ... - I hope that _________ knows that I care about their son/daughter and I just want what's best for their kid ... We close our eyes at night, but it's hard to get to sleep and to stay asleep. We never stop thinking about the game and our kids. And the crazy part is, we never stop thinking about them and caring about them and worrying about them when they are gone. If you have a coach that cares for your athlete and invests in them, thank them and appreciate them. If they can ...

Just Keep Coaching

Coaching and leadership can be a lonely, draining journey. People often ask much more of you than they are willing to give, and you rarely feel appreciated for going above and beyond for all the people in your life. It can feel like you are giving and giving and giving while everyone around you just takes and takes and takes. BUT REMEMBER WHY YOU DO IT. Remember the coaches you had when you were growing up and the impact that they had on your life. Remember that these kids and their families NEED you. Your parents need someone they can trust to help raise these kids and teach them both to love the game and life lessons through sports. Remember that these kids you coach will have memories of their time with you - good and/or bad. Remember that the coaches you are leading and mentoring both look up to you and are watching you. You are training the next generation of coaches and leaders. Whenever I feel drained, I remember that because I am called to coach and lead, I am also called to se...
