The University of Missouri led by Dennis Gates has become one of the most progressive programs in the NCAA. Their secret? They are committed to evidence-based coaching and are guided by the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) This game is an effective way for coaches to help their teams improve their finishing ability in live action. By practicing against live defense and in game-like scenarios, players can develop the necessary skills and adaptability to perform better in actual games. Implementing this drill, or similar ones that focus on live action and adaptation, could be a valuable addition to a team’s practice routine.

What does "not thinking" as much in Year Two mean for Broncos QB Bo Nix? He explains: "Well, it helps a lot because I'm not thinking about what the offense is doing," he says. "When you go up to the line of scrimmage, you want to be only thinking about the defense, only processing and reacting to the defense, not maybe the footwork or the motion or the timing or whatever that I'm doing, so that -- I feel like -- process is eliminated, and now I can focus on a lot more of the defense."

All the best coaching in the world at the youngest ages is rendered useless if a child hasn’t developed the ability to focus their attention. You can bring the best coach in the world to your child’s training session and if they don’t pay full attention absolutely nothing takes place. Similar to inside a classroom where you can bring the teacher of the year to your child’s classroom and if they don’t focus and pay attention, learning does not take place. So it’s not always the case of good or bad coaching it’s often the case a child’s lack of ability to learn by not focusing on what is being taught. This is especially true for the youngest ages. This video is an example of a 5yr old child focusing their attention, trying to control an object with their feet, the ball. This becomes a mental task, married together with the action of movement, making it a physical task as well. The brain loves to learn while moving. Combining, mind and body, thinking and feeling, this allows the cerebellum, the seat of the unconscious mind, to create a chemical signature of this experience, which is emotions. Emotions are the on off switch for learning. Couple in a parent being present, this becomes a shared experience together, where the child is constantly seeking the parents approval, attention, and praise which creates a chemical electrical process in the body which is emotions. This facilitates, deep learning, and long-term memory, all disguised as playtime. A parent just being present allows for this experience to take place. A child this young rarely starts playing or exercising with a ball without someone being present. Being present and sharing this experience together is key for the learning process to take place. These movements are being stored in the non-declared memory which makes this implicit learning when you do something so many times it becomes natural and outside your conscious awareness. Like riding a bicycle or driving a car.

Lately, it's become a trend to talk about Carlos as if he only started learning to play tennis well (for some, even to be educated) at 15. As if one coach is the only responsible for his success and for who he is in every aspect. Meanwhile, this was Carlos at age 10 in Murcia. One can acknowledge the work of a coach and give him credit without diminishing the player, who is the one holding the racket and coming back in historic 5: 30 hours finals, as if he didn't exist or have anything to do with his own success or who he is. A world number one, the youngest in history, isn't solely the work of a coach. Is also the work of his family, all his team and people, but above all, it's HIS OWN WORK, his talent, his commitment to his dream, and his constant sacrifice since childhood. Even if every now and then he has the audacity to need to rest for a few days with his friends or family.

Barkley 1v1 - The Next Step In Owning The Post REPLY BELOW FOR A FREE PDF of 9 Post Moves All Positions Should Learn! (Please make sure you are following us so we are able to send you the DM) For many players, playing in the post won’t start with posting up. It will start with a drive that gets cut off. The ability to turn that into a post up is commonly referred to as a Barkley. This is a reference to Charles Barkley, who used that technique effectively throughout his Hall of Fame career. While I hear a lot of coaches talk about the Barkley, I see very few teach it effectively. One coach who does is Cam Schuknecht, who coaches at Midland University and is the creator of No-Nonsense Scoring In The Paint For Guards & Posts. After practicing the technique, you need to practice this in a 1v1 situation. One challenge of this is that the Barkley is a counter. If your drill is designed to create a Barkley, players don’t have to read when to Barkley and when not to. This Barkley 1v1 game incorporates that critical decision.

Walter Gropius (1883-1969), one of the founders of the #Bauhaus and one of the most influential architects and designers of the 20th century, believed that design plays a fundamental role in society. He thought that design should not be viewed merely on an intellectual or material level, but as something embedded in everyday life and essential for every person in a civilized society. Gropius' thoughts emphasize the importance of functional and aesthetic aspects of design, which contribute to improving people's lives and creating a harmonious environment. This belief led to the development of the Bauhaus Movement, which aimed to unite art, craftsmanship, and technology to create user-friendly, practical, and appealing objects and spaces.

He does not get all the descendants of Abraham, he gets the tribes of Jacob, the tribes of Israel. This is a problem. So Yahweh goes to war as he wants justice for himself, and for his people group." Yahweh was not kicked out of the Elohim for his warfare, as so many of the ELOHIM were WAREFARING BEINGS - and when we look at the sky council or the council of powers in the Hebrew scriptures, we find that a lot of the time, what they are doing is fomenting war.

Andrei Tarkovsky on Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968): "Let us look at Bergman's Shame. The film doesn't contain a single 'actor's piece' for the performer to 'give away' the director's purpose, to play the conception of the persona, his attitude to it, to assess it in relation to the overall idea; and the latter is entirely hidden within the dynamic of the characters' lives, at one with it. The people in the film are crushed by circumstances; they act only in accordance with their situation, to which they themselves are subordinate; they make no attempt to proffer us any idea, any perspective on what is happening, or to draw any conclusion. All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex. At the beginning of the film the hero cannot even kill a chicken, but as soon as he has found a way of defending himself he becomes a cruel cynic. He has something of Hamlet: my view is that the Prince of Denmark perishes not as a result of the duel, when he dies physically, but immediately after the 'rat' scene, when he understands how irreversible are those laws of life which have forced him, a man of humanity and intellect, to act like the inferior people who inhabit Elsinore. Von Sydow is now a sinister character, afraid of nothing: he kills; will not raise a finger to save his fellows; pursues only his own interests. The point is that you have to be a person of great integrity to feel fear in the face of the foul necessity to kill and humiliate. And by shedding that fear and apparently acquiring courage, a person in fact loses his spiritual strength and intellectual honesty and parts from his innocence. War is the obvious catalyst for the cruel, anti-human elements in people. Bergman uses the war in this film exactly as he uses the heroine's illness in Through a Glass Darkly: to explore his view of man." — "Sculpting in Time" by Andrei Tarkovsky (translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair, 1987)

Andrei Tarkovsky on Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968): "Let us look at Bergman's Shame. The film doesn't contain a single 'actor's piece' for the performer to 'give away' the director's purpose, to play the conception of the persona, his attitude to it, to assess it in relation to the overall idea; and the latter is entirely hidden within the dynamic of the characters' lives, at one with it. The people in the film are crushed by circumstances; they act only in accordance with their situation, to which they themselves are subordinate; they make no attempt to proffer us any idea, any perspective on what is happening, or to draw any conclusion. All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex.

This is the Basketball Rondo passing drill. We have this in the activities library. (Download more games like this here➡️ This is a great game for passing under pressure. Four players are in a small space, like you see in the video, with three defenders. The defense has to get a steal in order to go on offense. The offense has to make 10 passes in a row to win the game. Coaches can change the space the players operate in, adjust the number of players in the game, and even combine their principles of play into it. For example, you could apply “zero-second decisions,” where players must pass immediately upon catching it, or it’s a turnover.

Senator Bato dela Rosa must be the most stupid Senator we currently have in the Philippines. Why is a Senator of the Republic present and interfering in a legitimate police operation to serve a warrant of arrest for the capture of the fugitive Apollo Quiboloy who is accused of heinous crimes of human trafficking and sexual abuse of women and minors? The alleged human trafficker, along with 4 of his close-in-officers continues to evade the law to this day. Was not Senator Bato’s actions of interferance an attempt to influence the process and operation of our state agencies of which he is not anymore a member of? Can Senator Bato’s actions be construed as supporting and abetting fugitives of the law and therefore worthy of an appropriate charge in court? His closeness to the Dutertes and Quiboloy cannot be denied. As a Senator paid for by the people whose job is to craft laws, where does his loyalty stand- Quiboloy and the Dutertes, or to the Republic? Should the Senate as a whole cause an investigation of his action outside of his mandate and therefore bringing the chamber into disrepute? He now promises to use the people’s monies for another investigation on the police operation, perhaps in aid of another destabilisation. In aid of Quiboloy and the Dutertes…
