IQ + MT = WINS
The Coaching Toolbox has hundreds of free resources for basketball coaching and for basketball players.
Just a quick announcement before today’s post, we now have a new basketball quotes feature with different basketball quotes that are posted daily at the top of the home page at the Coaching Toolbox. At the end of the day, we place it in our filing cabinet so that it and several other great basketball quotes will be there for future reference.
The NBA playoffs are inspiring with all kinds of food for thought about ideas that can be applied to all levels of basketball. The homecourt edge has been huge this year (as it is every year), yet the Spurs have been successful enough away from home to put away the Suns quickly and then to outlast the Hornets. It is our opinion that the Spurs understand what factors lead to and take away from momentum in a basketball game. Then to close the deal, you must have the basketball skills to make the plays that you know need to be made.
You hear the term basketball IQ being thrown out by several of the announcers and we feel that factor combined with mental toughness (MT for the purposes of our equation). We feel that a part of basketball IQ is understanding what we have called Momentum Killers and Momentum Getters and that they are a major factor in winning on the road. Click the link to see our list and a brief explanation of each one.
This coming Friday, Mental Toughness Coach and Author Steve Siebold will be our guest in teleseminar #4 and will provide some ideas on developing and applying mental toughness.
