Team Communication Concept

As I prepare for the season, I've been reviewing my Point Guard College notes over the past few days. Here is one concept I'm going to teach and encourage our athletes to use in order to improve communication and team chemistry throughout the season.

Go APE for your teammates:

A: Acknowledge: point to the passer on a made shot, touch teammates to increase trust, sprint to teammates when they fall down to recognize their hustle and sacrifice.

P: Praise: always remind teammates of their strengths, show them a vision of their greatness.

E: Encourage: Be specific and real in your encouragements

Use a 6:1 ratio of APE and constructive criticism!
