Butch Carter joins the show to talk coaching, leadership and basketball. There are some great things in this interview that will make you a better coach and change the way you look at some very basic things.

We get into why you need to prepare for all 14 or 15 people involved in the game not just the 10 players, we crunch some numbers on the importance of winning the first and third quarters, we talk about why you need to practice your transition game way more than you probably do – get away from standing around in the half court during practice.

The Jonker brothers discuss the importance of being self-aware as a coach and how you can gain self-awareness. Self-Awareness is critical to implementing every step of the Basketball Coaching Roadmap. If you don’t have the ability to honestly evaluate yourself and be aware of your surroundings then you’ll find it extremely difficult achieving your coaching goals. You will find yourself confused and frustrated at your team’s lack of success and your inability to connect with your players.

This episode is the final installment of a seven part series we call the Basketball Coaching Roadmap. Each part focuses on one specific area where successful coaches shine. We’ll share some stories, re-live experiences and explore the impact coaches can have on their players. If you haven't done so already, go back and listen to the previous episodes.

The Basketball Coaching Roadmap can be your off-season coaching course. Our goal is to add a little more to your coaching portfolio with each episode and by next season you’ll be ready to shine.
