Motivational Sports Speeches For CoachesThis is an interesting topic because I'm willing to bet there were some tremendous inspirational speeches made before their were recording devices in everyone's hand.
In today's locker rooms, coaches are often more careful with what they say because they know they're being recorded. A single slip up has consequences, and while every coach wants to "live in the moment," there is probably less spontaneity now than ever before. Tags:
IntroIf you ask most basketball coaches why they coach, the first thing that comes out of their mouth isn't the word "money."
However, as coaches move up the ranks, it can become an incredibly lucrative career. We'll start with high school coaches, then look at the college and pro ranks to compare and contrast what a basketball coach can make in a year. Tags:
The Best Books About College FootballCollege sports books can be tricky in that most people show the alma matter love or follow a specific team based on family dynamics or geography. There are certain programs that seem to transcend that, usually due to national prominence and success. I can't say for a fact that the University of George has more football fans today than they did five years ago, but I'd be willing to bet that they do.
And Georgia is investing accordingly. The Bulldog's spent $4.51 million on recruiting in 2022, which may not seem like a lot until you see that 2017's budget was $2.27 million. With winning comes more money, which is spent on better players and things, which the Bulldogs hope will lead to more winning. While the college game has certainly evolved, never has the business of college football been more scrutinized. I've written previously about books about college coaches and even more specifically, Nick Saban. Today, I'm going to bypass the biographies of college coaches and focus more on the sport itself: *The crossroads of business and college football *The history of the sport and the impact it's had on broader society *A unique look at a season at Michigan and Mississippi State Here are five books that go beyond the game itself and are worth your time.

Intro
Shooting a basketball is like swinging a golf club: it requires hundreds of hours of practice to develop consistent muscle memory. For a lot of young players, unfortunately, they develop flawed shooting mechanics at a young age, and the practice they put in reinforces those flaws. All of a sudden, they're playing in high school, and it's too late.

Looking to Develop as a Basketball Coach?Coaches spend most of their time focused on the improvement of their players. But what about themselves? Whether you're on a long bus ride to an away game or looking for ways to improve in the off-season, reading should be a part of your plan. Why? Because as we age, it's not so much that we're lacking in skills to be a great coach, but we're often lacking in perspectives.
