As coaches, we often receive mixed signals from our parents about what their priorities are when it comes to what they want for their child's experience. According to Greg Berge (@gb1121), things like "Being a Positive Role Model" and "Show You Care" tops the list, while "Winning" and "Playing Time" are at the bottom. Tony and I break this down, along with trivia and "This Week In Basketball".

As we have more data available to our coaching tool box, sometimes we forget that we also have to trust our instincts and our own core beliefs.

Along with that, we have trivia and our "This Week in Basketball" segment!

In addition to this, we have trivia, along with a new concept . . .
