The Talent Equation Podcast

"The biggest rate limiter in professional sports is that coaches are so general" - a conversation with Alex Sarama


Listen Later

Alex Sarama makes a welcome return to the podcast to discuss his fantastic new book 'Transforming Basketball' and to unpack some of the ideas that are within it. 

Although Alex is a basketball coach and the book is based on Basketball, it is actually a briliiant read for coaches of any sport, especially team sports. This conversation explores many of these ideas including:
  • Why '2 ball dribbling' is a complete waste of time
  • Why coaches are so dependent on blocked practice and drills
  • When, how and why to use set plays
  • Some of Alex's brillient practice designs like 'floor is lava', 'mosquito shooting' and 'jungle shooting'. 
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
