I had some time Sunday morning and re-read some articles that I enjoyed, and caught up on some newer ones. In the attached folder are 5 articles, and the links are in the google document. These are good to print out and read on downtime, or as my dad says "on the throne". These are pieces on Tiger Woods, Urban Meyer, Brad Stephens, Tom Thibedeau, the Indianapolis Colts and the 1996 Chicago Bulls.

​To access all of these articles, go to Week 3

In this weeks newsletter I have 10 attachments with a brief description below. We have a basketball theme, a learning theme, and a leadership theme.

• Attached is a sample 45 minute basketball workout with the description we used this week.
• I really enjoyed the Deliberate Practice video and articles that I came across and really wanted to share. I loved the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and this does tie in to it. 
• Coach Matt Hackenberg has a great YouTube channel that I stole this video from. We incorporated these drills and philosophy into our program last year. I have the 15 minute video and notes to go along with the video.

• 3 articles I enjoyed reading this week - NBA shot doctors, A Joe Maddon coaching article, and a inside look at University of Wisconsin football meeting preparing for Ohio State.
• My coaching friends and I put on a basketball skills camp this summer. It was called Next Level Basketball 419. Attached is a 7 minute preview video of the 3 day camp. The link at the bottom of the page will take you directly to the site.

Newsletter #1
10/7/2016
Welcome to my first attempt at a coaching and leadership newsletter. I am on many different coaching newsletters and websites and try to read as much as I can. I like to share out with my friends the articles I really enjoy. I am part of a small group of coaches got together and put on a skills camp, Next Level Basketball 419, and this newsletter will be an extension of the camp.

(The link below is to access to the documents described)

• 4 player workout, part 1 - offense. This is a 18 page packet I have created to use this fall to use in our work outs. I have taken all of our favorite drills that we have stolen from other practices, clinics and videos and turned them in to 4 player version.
• Zak Boisvert Leadership notes, September 2016 - taken directly from his website, Pickandpop.net. He takes notes on all his favorite articles, then compiles them into one spot.
• Zak Boisvert Tom Herman notes. Again, stolen from his website, really good stuff on University of Houston Football coach.
• Bill Belicheck PDF. An oral history from ESPN the magazine.
• Tom Thibideau article from ESPN.
