A retired coach on the difference
between the November version of you and the February version, and how to keep
them closer together.

SHOW NOTES

After thirty seven years, Coach
Steve Collins can finally see the thing he could not see while he was inside it:
he planned five months of conditioning for his players and nothing at all for
himself. This episode is an honest look at what actually empties a coach's
tank, which is almost never the games, plus a practical energy plan for a long
season and the one signal that tells you you are running on empty.

What we cover:

•  
The November coach and the February coach are different
people, and your team can feel it

•  
What really drains you: the email, the scheduling, the
conflict, the paperwork on a Sunday

•  
Building recovery into the week, including one day you
do not talk about basketball

•  
Handing assistants real work instead of hoarding it out
of fear

•  
Sleep, eating at the gym, keeping one non basketball
person, and no film at two in the morning

This week's challenge: Block one day on your calendar
where basketball is not allowed, and protect it like you protect a game night.

Recorded at the Fifth Quarter
