We are fortunate to have Peter Lonergan join the show. Lonergan is the General Manager of Performance Pathways for Basketball Australia.
In this episode, Lonergan shares how coaches can develop a clear coaching philosophy and translate those beliefs into how they teach and play. He challenges coaches to simplify their messaging, avoid becoming overly rigid, and balance player freedom with enough structure to provide clarity.
Lonergan also shares thoughts on practice design, small-sided games, teaching the “why,” and why coaches can often solve tactical problems by returning to fundamental skills and principles.

Lonergan: “Make sure that you're servicing the players, (and) you're not servicing your practice plan.”
