Partnering with Players’ Parents
This week on A Quick Timeout podcast, JP Nerbun, author of the book, The Sports Parent Solution: Proven Strategies for Transforming Parents from Obstacles to Allies, shares strategies for partnering with parents and strengthening the relationship between coaches, athletes, and players.
Q: What’s one big takeaway coaches will get from this book?
Nerbun: If you truly care about your athletes, you won’t build walls with their parents. Instead, you’ll engage the parents.
The mental health stuff is a big issue right now. There isn’t a week that goes by where one of the coaches I’m working with doesn’t have a player who has serious issues. I don’t think we as coaches can fully support our student-athletes in their mental health issues or in their growth as people if we don’t engage the most important person in their life. If we build walls, do we really care?

2 HOURS of 5-Out Basketball
This weekend, I released a compilation of over 2 hours of instruction and examples of 5-Out Offense with Radius Athletics' Randy Sherman and A Quick Timeout's Tony Miller. Check it out.
Play of the Week: UConn’s 4-Low Zoom Flare
In my opinion, Dan Hurley’s staff comes up with some of the best Xs & Os in college basketball. Here’s the Huskies’ opening BLOB against Kansas. It’s a 4-Low alignment that starts with a stagger. Then they go Zoom. It finishes with a flare for their stretch 4.
