Great Information
Mdoyle100
This podcast gives a wealth of information on coaching youth basketball, especially for first timers like myself. They take a little too long at the beginning of each show to dive into the material. And I wish their shows were longer. But overall, it’s been very helpful to me.
Best youth coaching podcast

Excellent podcast
AK Lefty
Bill and Steve provide a fun breakdown of common scenarios found in the youth game with real world examples of how to address them. Shows are brief and to the point. I’ve gained quite a few tips from listening.

Basketball Performance

Why Every Coach Needs Basketball Performance Evaluations

Every youth coach I know wants their players to improve. For me, the foundation of growth always ties back to how I measure basketball performance once the season ends. Post season evaluations allow me to step back, reflect, and give players clear direction. Without structured evaluations, players and parents walk away with mixed feelings, not knowing where to focus. With them, I guide development, keep motivation high, and show measurable ways to enhance basketball performance.
