How many coaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

I don’t know the punchline to this joke, but if you notice in these pictures, if it takes quite a few, we should be good to go! Yes, there are FOUR coaches on the bench in this game. No, it isn’t a finals game, or a team that always wins, or parents (not a single one)…just a Saturday morning AAO game,
and we have four coaches (one of which is the director) present and ready to help these kids learn and grow.

Player (and coach) development is at the forefront of OnPoint Playmaker basketball. Learning about basketball and life happens in varied ways, but in the moment conversations can be impactful. Being present is also a form of bonding and investment into the player.

“They don’t care what you know until they know that you care”

We were reminded recently by a seasoned basketball coach that just because a phrase is cliche doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. Summer basketball can be a whirlwind, and working to make those connections is important in order to create an atmosphere for learning.
