Get Your Mind Right
"::training philosophy::
At Power Box Basketball, we built a training philosophy built on the observations of Kevin Eastman (currently an assistant for the Boston Celtics). Eastman believes that there are certain guidelines that must be accomplished in a basketball workout if a player wants to see improvement. These are things that I have my players focus on each day. WHENEVER you are working on your game as a player you must:
* Go faster than game-speed!
* Understand that improvement is a process.
* Eliminate workout killers (fatigue and boredom)
* Have a practice plan. Be prepared!
* Work on conditioning, shooting, and dribbling everyday
* Understand the 'Theory of 2': It will take me 2 minutes to teach a player a skill and it will take the player 2 weeks of everyday concentration on that skill to become comfortable at it. Players, take what your coach teaches you and constantly strive to get better at that one thing.
Most of these things are just mental adjustments. The player who lazily shoots around for two hours gets less accomplished than a player who has this mentality for forty-five minutes! Don't waste your time, be a better player!

The Butler Way
"::the butler way::
Thad Matta's old buddy Todd Lickliter brought his Iowa team into town on Wednesday...While the Buckeyes handed Iowa 'a good old-fashioned butt-whoopin,'' it was interesting to see two coaches with similar upbringings go head to head. The Columbus Dispatch had a good article on Matta and Lickliter bringing in 'The Butler Way' to both of their respective programs.
'We define 'The Butler Way' as denying selfishness, demanding commitment, accepting reality and yet seeking improvement every day,' Collier said.
That last part, trying hard to get better and putting team ahead of individual, is really a lot of what defines how those guys coach and the way their teams have played.'"

The science of strategy requires seeing beyond the immediate situation into the big picture. Planning is reductive, reducing each process to a series of smaller, discrete steps. Strategy is additive, adding each discrete situation to a bigger picture that, ideally, others do not see. I offer the following joke as an illustration.
A boy enters a barber shop. The barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch! I’ll prove it to you.”
The barber pulls out a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other. He calls the boy over, shows him what is in his hands and asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy, says, “Ooh, shiny!” and takes the quarters and leaves.
“What did ! I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why do you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game’s over!”"

Rediscovering Strategy
As we noted in the last post, momentum comes only from surprise. As those unfamiliar with strategy observe this effect, it always surprises them. For example, in a recent article about the presidential primaries, the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder observes:
Momentum seems to skip the next state up and seems to benefit the person who exceeded expectations, rather than the winner.
The benefit of actually studying strategy is that you can expect this to happen beforehand instead of being surprised by it.
