In this basketball coaching conversation, Alex Sarama of NBA Europe asks questions, and discusses, a games approach to coaching concepts with the creative mind behind Basketball Immersion, Chris Oliver. Chris and Alex discuss the value of 1-on-0 drills and adding a defender can change skill development.

1-on-0 Drills Podcast Quotes

“From a youth level, getting skilled on offense is the most important thing.”

“I hear the debate all the time, ‘players don’t know how to play,’ well, we don’t put them in situations where they learn how to play.”

“The game is far messier than how we construct drills . . technique is always tactically and context specific . . practicing skills in isolation does not lead to transfer.”

“Drills tend to encourage a coach-driven expectation of what’s supposed to happen.”

“There’s no form of practice more specific than playing basketball.”

“If you don’t have a defender, you don’t have a decision.”

“Decisions are also skills . . I believe I would teach almost all youth skill development from 2-on-1 situations.”

Alex Sarama

“Basketball is . . a thinking game and that’s why the games approach is so important . . because it makes players think in practice.”

“As coaches, you definitely have to embrace the messiness . . that messiness is where all the learning happens for the kids.”

“You can have practice fun and engaging from the first minute you start by using the games approach.”

“For some coaches it can be difficult to get buy-in from the parents or the program administrators if you feel like your practice is looking disorganized but I think just the results . . being able to show the development and improvement of the players . . people will see the benefits of taking a more 21st century approach.”

    While cleaning might seem like a universal service, there’s a vast difference between residential and commercial cleaning. Commercial cleaners work in environments such as offices, factories, airports, cinemas, stadiums, restaurants and shops. They use heavy-duty tools and equipment to remove dust, dirt and grime from floors, walls, windows and all other surfaces. They aim to make the area hygienically clean and safe to work in for your employees. The tour will allow the representative to confirm size, number of duties and more in order to give him or her, a better idea of the client’s expectations and facilities. The representative will go over their catalog of services and make recommendations based on the tour. The aesthetics of your office and storefront will dramatically go down when it is not cleaned and organized. Consequently, you need to establish a cleaning routine and periodically hire an affordable office cleaning service to maintain the sanitation and crisp indoor air quality inside your workplace. https://sierraswest.ca/community/profile/brigettemcwilli/ I think that sanitation is very important because if you do not wipe off all of your supplies and wash your hands, bacteria can spread and stay on dishes. If you do not wash things of you will likely spread food diseases to people. So make sure that you sanitize and wash all of your surfaces and dish after you are done cooking. It’s more important now than ever to hire office cleaning and disinfecting services for your office or commercial property. Regardless of the industry you’re in and the age of your employees, anyone can be affected by COVID-19 and spread it easily without proper measures in place. Our company is here to help and protect your company and everyone in it through expert office cleaning and sanitizing services. Vive Sanitation Station At KIWI, we will use an all-around disinfectant cleaner and sanitizer that kills viruses, fungicide and bacteria called Mediclean.

    Willkommen in der größten Shopping-Community Deutschlands! Nach reichlicher Überlegung und schweren Herzens trenne ich mich von meinem baby .. Mir fehlt einfach die Zeit …viel zu schade dafürDaten :23 spiele siehe Fotos …Scheinakzeptor (alte scheine)Euro münz Annahme 50c 1€ 2€2 service Schlüssel (neu eingebaut )Alle birnen funktionieren (gebe noch Ersatz mit ) Auszahlung funktioniert auch tadelloser hopper.Einziger MangelTürschloss wurde aufgebohrt ( benötigt man nicht wirklich geht auch so)Preis VBMeldet euch bei fragen Das klassische Book of Ra ist das Slot Spiel schlecht hin und zieht noch heute mit der Geschichte Ägyptens viele Spieler magisch an, denn wie in den Pyramiden, so kann man auch bei diesem Spiel auf ganz große Schätze hoffen! Das Herzstück bei Book of Ra sind natürlich die Freispiele, die durch das legendäre Buch ausgelöst werden. Drei Bücher müssen mindestens erscheinen, wobei es egal ist, auf welcher der beiden Spiel-Ebenen sie zum Vorschein kommen. 8, 12 oder sogar 20 – das sind die Zahlen, die jeder Spieler bei Book of Ra deluxe 10 online im Kopf hat. Denn so viele Freispiele gibt es, wenn man drei, vier oder fünf der sagenumwobenen Bücher auf den Walzen hat. Nun öffnet sich vor unseren Augen das legendäre Buch und gibt seine Geheimnisse preis. https://commoncause.optiontradingspeak.com/index.php/community/profile/kathryngrogan97/ Doch auch als Spieler mit etwas Erfahrung können Sie den Spielgeld Modus nutzen, um zum Beispiel neue, kompliziertere Poker Varianten auszuprobieren und zu erlernen, einen bestimmten Turniertyp kennenzulernen oder einfach nur um an den Feinheiten Ihres Spiels zu arbeiten. Das Übungsspiel ist dabei vollkommen risikofrei und Sie können dabei kein Echtgeld verlieren. Oft bieten Pokerseiten auch Spielgeld Turniere an, bei denen Tickets zu Echtgeld Turnieren oder zu Freerolls mit Echtgeld Prämien gewonnen werden können. Auch dieses Angebot wird von vielen standardmäßigen Echtgeldspielern gerne wahrgenommen. Es gibt zahlreiche gute Pokeranbieter und es ist nicht einfach, eine einzelne als DIE beste hervorzuheben. Für Turnierspieler ist sicherlich PokerStars die interessanteste Option, da hier die größten Turniere sind. Anfänger sind bei 888poker gut aufgehoben, da hier die Gegenspieler vergleichsweise schwach sind. Bei GGPoker findet meine gute Mischung aus vollen Tischen und einfachen Gegnern, während bei partypoker vor allem Profis heimisch werden.

    Após essas flutuações de preço, para onde o bitcoin provavelmente irá a seguir? A Forbes ouviu analistas que apontam tendências para a criptomoeda. No entanto, tendem a se igualar. Quando existem diferenças muito grandes nos preços de duas casas de câmbio, há quem aproveite essa diferença de preço para comprar na casa de câmbio com um preço barato e vender na que tem o preço mais caro. Isto, é algo que é feito diariamente, é conhecido como arbitragem, resultando em homogeneidade de preços nas diferentes plataformas de câmbio em apenas alguns minutos. Softforks são implementações compatíveis com versões anteriores da rede Bitcoin e são apoiadas por consenso de toda a comunidade. Isto é, os nodos antigos do Bitcoin aceitarão receber blocos criados por nodos novos que estão seguindo o novo parâmetro aceito pela comunidade, pequenas mudanças no código original. Assim, todos os novos blocos são considerados válidos na nova versão além de também serem validados com os blocos da versão antiga. https://tedefi-victims.xyz/community/profile/abem06839077708/ O processo de mineração Bitcoin procura executar uma série de cálculos matemáticos complexos que são usados para validar transações. Estes cálculos exigem um enorme poder computacional que evoluiu com o tempo. No início, um computador simples poderia executá-los sem problemas, mas hoje em dia é necessário equipamento especializado para a tarefa. Isto ocorre porque a dificuldade de mineração do Bitcoin aumentou exponencialmente desde a sua criação até hoje. A criptomoeda mais conhecida foi criada para ser uma espécie de ouro digital. E, apesar das flutuações muito acentuadas de valor, deverá reforçar esse suposto papel nos próximos meses Esse processo de verificação dos blocos válidos (que acontece com as operações matemáticas, quebrando blocos de criptografia) dá origem a cadeia do blockchain e é conhecido como “mineração de criptomoedas”. Os donos dos computadores responsáveis pela criação de uma nova unidade de bitcoin ficam com uma fração dele.
