How I work with players
The seven pillars
When I start with a player, I show them a pie chart. Seven areas that uncover the biggest area of opportunity in the way of playing your best: off-court context, nutrition, preparation, weight room, basketball, recovery, availability. Then I ask them to grade themselves. If an A is perfect and an F is failing, where are you in each? Not a judgment. It tells me where the lowest hanging fruit is, and it tells both of us what the plan has to address.
