Most coaches don’t realize it, but this may be ruining
their practices for your players desire to practice!!
If players know they have to run at the end of practice,
they will pace themselves throughout your drills because
they know RUNNING is coming. You want your players to be excited about basketball and
feel good about it. That's why it's so important to end on
a positive note!
Instead, you should include running/conditioning as
part of your regular drills and practice. This way they go
HARD the entire practice and it just becomes a habit.
Always start you practices with team/together loosening
up and stretching and finish with team/together cooling
down and light stretching. Good time for team bonding
and coaching philosophy inputs.
Don’t use running as a punishment or when a team or
individual loses in a drill. When running is used
negatively it could have a lasting negative effect toward
running as part of a healthy lifestyle.
