Mental Toughness and Coaching Basketball
The Coaching Toolbox has hundreds of free resources for basketball coaching and for basketball players.
In my post earlier this week, I mentioned the article at the Coaching Toolbox dealing with Momentum Killers and Momentum Getters. Our feeling is that mental toughness plays a big part in dealing with the ebb and flow of the momentum of a basketball game. The work that Steve Siebold has assembled is one of the best resources for ideas on developing and coaching mental toughness. I believe that it is critical for any coach to study and work at improving mentally toughness in order to nurture it in his or her players. As one of my high school English teachers once stated;
You be must be what you is
Because if you be what you ain’t
You ain’t what you is.
We can only teach intangibles to the degree that we possess them. In a roundabout way, I am trying to say is that when you listen to the teleseminar interview with Steve Siebold, I hope that you get some good information that you feel will help you as a coach (and a person) to grow in your understanding and application of his mental toughness principles. I have learned a great deal from his books and blog and I am glad to be able to have the this blog and our website to share with all of you what I feel is a great resource for mental toughness.
