Are Coaches Passionate About Teaching Your Kids?

Starting a program from scratch can be a very trying ordeal; however, with passion and desire you can accomplish just about anything your mind perceives.

Over the past few months, I have noticed such an individual in the San Antonio, Texas area who displays much of the attributes needed to be successful in any endeavor.

Basketball is his passion, and working with youth as well as established players appears to be his “calling”.

I recently had the privelege of interviewing Coach Tim Springer, and became more of a fan than I already was.

Basketball Video: Something Old, Something New

The Edge" videos were taken this summer mainly as a review guide for the players between classes. This allows them to practice just a few minutes a day on the skills learned in the prior class.

The following video encompasses some older ballhandling drills as well as newer ones. Youth basketball coaching is about constantly teaching and encouraging the players to use what they learn and to challenge themselves to newer heights.

As part of the agility training we strive to make sure the players keep a proper stance and balance so they can shift quickly from one move to another with or without the ball.

A complete basketball player will need the basic skills necessary to compete and the athleticism and balance to be able to implement their moves.
