Most youth coaches care deeply, work hard, and still feel stuck between development, winning, and parent expectations, so when Kansas Select coach and director Jared Mocaby reached out to me with youth coaching questions—and we turned it into an episode packed with practical answers.
The big idea is simple: your players need you to be a better designer of learning. Listen to hear practical “solution-based” ideas:
Replace constant instructions with guiding questions, so players learn to solve problems in real time.
Why practices should feature more full-court transition.
Decision-rich play instead of predictable lines and rehearsed patterns.
The conversation also tackles the youth system itself: shot selection, position development, balancing short-term results with long-term growth, and the cost of over-scheduling tournaments at the expense of focused practice time.
