, how would you describe your coaching style? We teach all the basics, fundamentals, my footwork without touching the ball. ball handling passing cut and bounce in boxing I like all the basic things you relax and let them find their own way a lot of patience patience they have 12 you have to be patient let them develop let them grow they surprise you at all with how surprised I was surprised how fast it is, how fast it comes, that's amazing, we've actually been doing this for 10 months when they started, you were barely bargaining shooting all that stuff and now, or we have a much better, there's one thing that I hope you always know about talk is that you get better by practicing, working out and putting in the time, but our girls play basketball or we're down seven days a week in the summer, it's a double session and at first you're nice. of things like they're a little crazy like, well yeah, but you want to be number one, come on man, you know you've been messing with it, you know he's, you can see he wants to, you know, get out there at some point, but no, man. great coach, im learning a lot you know, even as a father, just watching this style of coaching, he will tell them something and make noises, we have a list and it will be like my dad and then they will go and do it, they will appear exactly like him she says or she'll go fast and then they'll do it, it's just weird, definitely keep her very compassionate towards these girls, she shows a lot of love for what she does. and for these girls on the team and what it's becoming, yes, they are mine until they go to college, so this team, the plan that we have in place in Ohio to teach, is a six year point, how I tried it, I actually teach it, an increment to teach. them piece by piece by piece by piece which is very patient preaching and reorganizing better

every

day let's improve every day that's all let's get better having you
