A Resource For All Basketball Coaches: A Pen and A Napkin Podcast
FastBreak PlayBook has partnered with A Pen and A Napkin Podcast to help bring more value to basketball coaches of all levels. The goal is simple: share an amazing resource to all basketball coaches to help them become their best selves. The added bonus is the material discussed in the podcast is already inside FastBreak PlayBook.
100 Podcasts in 100 Days
A Pen and A Napkin has started the journey of 100 podcasts in 100 days, and by what we can tell already, it is equivalent to 1000 days of professional training. With his “Win The Season” series, Coach Marty Plum brings insights into many aspects of your season, including but not limited to drills, plays, the team’s psychology, and, most importantly, the JOY of coaching basketball!
Coaches demand a lot from players and often forget themselves or their staff. This podcast brings great value for a coach, whether it be finding new ways to teach or how to run a practice. Essentially, you will become a better coach by listening. One of the best parts of a podcast like this is that you don’t always have to agree; learning can still take place, and that is why we partnered with A Pen and A Napkin.
From the Podcast to Your PlayBook
A lot of what you will hear does fall in line with FastBreak PlayBook. You will hear about many drills and actual ways to teach the game. That is where FastBreak PlayBook comes into play. We have hundreds of basketball plays for youth basketball as well as high school basketball and above, already drawn, ready for you to use and/or edit! Of course, you can still and always will be able to draw your own schemes! The drills mentioned in the podcast as you listen are already drawn inside FastBreak PlayBook and they live in the “Find a PlayBook” area. Many drills also have videos attached that show Marty teaching you how to coach them. This is an area where you can easily find what you want, add it to your own team playbooks, and instantly share with your team through our FastBreak App, print, or PDF versions.
Coaches, if nothing else, take this as a challenge: are you so good that you don’t need to find time to make yourself better? We strive to be better personally and professionally daily, this will help. Give the podcast from A Pen and A Napkin a listen, and if you hear about a drill you like, go find it inside FastBreak PlayBook and put it to use!
