I Have To Be Improving - Mike Neighbors

“If I’m asking my players to improve, I have to be improving” - Mike Neighbors

Even us coaches, especially us coaches, have to find ways to get better every day and every year for our players.  It’s important to take a step back at the end of each season to self-assess your performance.  It’s important to assess your strengths and your weaknesses.  It’s important to have a plan on how to grow your strengths to a level of mastery, while growing your weaknesses. 

Each off-season find at least one area that you want to grow in as a coach - set plays, zone defense, a new press, new 1 on 1 drills etc.  Master something new this off-season, learn something new this off-season, and bring something new because your kids and your teams need you to.

We ask our kids to improve, and each NBA great talks about how they come back with something new each year; so should we as coaches.  Invest in yourself and in your craft.
