What can you do to get a team to communicate and interact more on the court? That's the question a coach recently asked me via email.
What if we gave players more of a role in the administration side of things? Could we use that to develop a greater level of investment in our program?
A lot of people think of competitiveness in terms of a drive to win. Does that really go far enough, though? I'd argue true competitiveness is deeper.

Personality testing and other sports psychology work for your team can be useful. It needs to be evaluated in terms of priorities and cost, though.
What can you do when your players push back on the way you do your practice, in particular wanting more block rather than random training.
