Basketball Coaching Sample...

For those of your interested here is a sample of my basketball blogs that I write for my two teams that I coach here in my hometown of Fredrikstad:

Hoopsters: Really good work tonight..Getting in a real good practice in that small gym is a credit to you all and your ability to focus, compete and cheer each other on... Just so you guys know, when we get the gym at Seirsborg done, it will be a little bigger than the small gym we have to use at Glemmen every other week. Next week we have the big area and will make the most out of it... Just like you all did tonight. I must say fellas, you all make coming to practice so much fun and seeing the long term progress of each one of you is of course real cool! And another thing I know to be true, this group of young men, that is you dudes are fighters, friends, competitors, fans of each other and like I wrote to Mo from Skiptvet we are a family, one that takes care of each other, through thick and thin... Right guys?? Hehehe I know the answer already and that's one of the reasons it's o fun to ask the question.. ;-)

Keep working hard guys, keep your thinking caps on during practice, I know I can say a lot of info in a short amount of time, and you all should be safe to raise your hand and ask if you don't understand... Please do that guys, or should I say keep doing it!  Seeing you all starting to have a better grasp of the idea's behind a good man to man defense, understanding is maybe over half the battle guys... and then the way you all competed during the 3 on 3 drill was just so cool to watch... ALL of you played your hearts out and a special shout to Mo from Hvaler, Ebay and Si Ming... those guys won 7 games in a row with exceptional effort on defense and running the floor... good work all!!

Hope to see so many of you as possible at open gym tomorrow night, come and play, get a run in dudes, come and battle against your teammates, club-mates and possible guest players from other clubs.... For those of you I don't see tomorrow, have a good weekend and remember to eat and drink the good stuff, listen to the bosses at home and do your school work to the best of your ability...

Coach Kev


As stated, I have two teams, this blog is for the oldest team, the one I've been coaching the past three seasons, young men now, born in 94/95. The reason I posted their blog post as a sample is because I know these young men best and I guess I might think I write a little more natural for them... who knows and I hope those of you that are interested will follow along for the fun of it... 


Gotta run folks... tired after a long evening of coaching and am looking forward to chillin a bit before beddy bye... ;-)
