Workout:
Throwing:
Warm Up
Flick Hucks (2-leg no step)
Low Backhand (wonder under, working on shape)
Backhand Pull (adding power)
Reading:
I listened to "Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success" by John Wooden and Jay Carty. I pulled this off of C's audible library and it was much more religious than I expected. Since I wasn't expecting it, it was a little disconcerting at first. But I really liked how John Wooden's coaching philosophy is completely and utterly consistent with his set of beliefs and values. For instance, John Wooden believes in a certain definition of what it means to be successful (broadly) and what it means to be a good individual, and everything he teaches is based on those beliefs. Everything he says and does reflects and reinforces this strong ethos. Everything in his philosophy is close-knit and clear.
I think this is one of the things I respect the most about John Wooden. The unwavering character and cohesiveness to his teaching (and coaching) style feels powerful and worth aspiring towards.
Notes:
- I wanted to work out with Champe today after practice, but the fields were closed and we had to cancel. I would like to set up weekly 3-man marking and footwork sessions with my co-coaches when winter rolls around. I think it would be a good thing for me to work on keeping my reactions as sharp as possible through these off-season months.
- I listened to this audiobook at 2x speed. At first it felt extremely fast, but after about 30 minutes I got used to it and it felt pretty normal. Normal to the point that I was considering trying to go faster by the end of my drive. I think there is a bit of audio quality lost, but I don't consider that to be a big deal.
