On today’s episode, I’m joined by Alex Sarama! Alex  is a 2x guest on the show and appeared on the podcast way back in Episode 33!

Since that episode, Alex’s life has changed quite a bit. he found it a company called Transforming Basketball, which is seeking to change the way that basketball is coached. He is also the Director of methodology with London Lyons in England, and also works with the Rip City remix, the G league affiliate team for the Portland, Trailblazers of the NBA.

On top of all of that, Alex has a brand new book that just dropped on April 9 called Transforming Basketball, Where he takes coaches through a modern approach, to skill acquisition, and how to apply it to basketball.

 In this conversation, we talk about many useful topics for coaches, including:

•  How to upgrade traditional basketball drills into a live movement activities,
• How to adjust your system, or principles of play to new athletes 
•  How Alex’s experience  is experience, coaching in different settings across the world, has shaped his coaching lens
  
   And so many other valuable topics!

One last note on the book, my teammates at emergence Tyler , Urby, and Shawn Myszca wrote a chapter in Alex‘s new book and Alex was nice enough to put this podcast as an education resource for the readers.. so even more reason to buy the book!

Just a reminder that we have two courses on sale on the Emergence website. Origins which is our youth athlete course and includes over 30 videos of activities and Reconceptualizing  the Warm Up are all on sale for a limited time.
