In this podcast episode, Sam and Lisa discuss the difference between developing skills, reads, and decision-making. It’s important for coaches to decide how they’ll approach develop their players in each area and know what it looks like for their team in their system. The importance of habits, narrowing their focus, creating role clarity, and setting expectations are all part of the formula for growing in this area.

PGC Director Matt McLeod does a film breakdown of how playmakers create advantages and make the right reads vs their defenders and help-side defenses. You won't find any drills here but moreso a breakdown of how to study film better and content you can show your players.

When making baseline drives, there are 3 different reads/decisions that players need to make against the helpside defender. TJ Rosene shares each of these in this short video.

Here is a short video showing the importance of reading the helpside D's shoulder and chest and the appropriate decision players need to make with it.
