These are the topics for »Weekly Roundup #7«:

• Bringing out the best in others
  No matter what job we are performing in life, we should always want to bring out the best in those around us. This is even more important for your players on your basketball team. When your goal is to bring out the best in your players, you will find that they will in time learn to contain high respect for you, not only as a coach but a human being. You want to be the best role model possible for your players and bringing out the best in your players is the best way to begin your journey of kind deeds.
• Effective Weight Training Routines
  Any good coach will tell you that there is more to building strong, healthy basketball players than simply running drills and playing games. The fact is that the best basketball players have well-rounded fitness routines that include weight training, aerobic exercise and drills to target the specific skills that require development and training.
• Promoting your Basketball Program
  If you’ve ever thought of developing your own program, here are some of my ideas I’d like to share with you. Before you can promote your basketball program, you must ensure that it contains value. You want your program to have traits which not only add value to your basketball program but success.
• Differences between Individualism and Team Work
  Within our current society, you will view a lot of people stressing the word “team”. It takes a lot to make a “team” as compared to merely labeling something a “team”. Teams are made up of dedicated individuals who think and act like a team.
• What to eat after a Game
  Basketball players should not only eat healthy before and after games but in their every day lives. Basketball burns a lot of energy therefore, eating more foods which contain the nutrients your body needs will give you lots of energy for running up and down the court.
Protective Equipment for Basketball
If you have a child who is involved with sports you may be balking at the cost of protective gear which can really vary from sport to sport. Basketball is a great sport in that the specific equipment you need is actually very minimal. When compared to a sport like hockey, the amount of protective gear you need is affordable and easy to find.
• Telling your parents you are quitting
  If you are an athlete who has always enjoyed sports, it can be difficult to decide to put that behind you. Whether it is giving up athletics altogether or simply switching your focus to another sport. Telling your parents that you want to quit a sports team can be difficult for many younger athletes to do.
