https://teachhoops.com/ There is a common saying in coaching: "Games are won in the winter, but players are made in the summer." The off-season isn't a "break"; it is the "Laboratory of Growth." During the competitive season, your focus is necessarily on the collective—scouting opponents, installing sets, and managing rotations. In the off-season, the script flips. This is the only time of year where you have the luxury of Individual Technical Loading. If your players return in November with the same skill sets they had in March, your program has stagnated. The off-season is about closing the "Skill Gap" between who your players are and who they need to be for you to win a trophy. The second pillar of a successful off-season is "Metabolic and Physical Reconstruction." This is the time to build the "Armor" required to survive a 20+ game schedule. Transitioning from "Basketball Shape" to "Explosive Power" involves a dedicated strength and conditioning program that focuses on lateral quickness, verticality, and injury prevention (specifically ACL and ankle stability). However, you must avoid the "Burnout Trap." A great off-season plan includes "De-loading" phases where players step away from the court to recharge mentally. Use your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your summer schedule: are you playing 100 AAU games but getting zero skill reps? If so, you are just practicing being "tired and mediocre." Finally, the off-season is the primary window for "Cultural Seeding." This is when your new leaders emerge. Without the pressure of a scoreboard, you can facilitate team-building activities that create the "Trust Equity" required for the mid-season grind. Use this time for "Leadership Retreats" or "Book Clubs" where you discuss the program's Mission Statement. By the time the first official practice starts in the fall, your "Championship DNA" should already be woven into the fabric of the team. You aren't just building better ball-handlers; you are building a Self-Policing Unit that understands the standard of excellence required to represent your community. Basketball off-season, player development, individual basketball workouts, summer basketball training, basketball strength and conditioning, high school basketball, youth basketball, basketball IQ, coaching philosophy, team culture, skill acquisition, basketball leadership, "Trust Equity" in sports, championship habits, coach development, coach unplugged, teach hoops, basketball success, athletic leadership, program building, off-season roadmap.

Every month across the country in federal prisons, inmates get together for bookclubs. It may not look like the typical club, but the connection, community and stimulation are all there.

I'm in a book club right now, for the first time ever. (Yeah, I know, gasp. But I've always had so much to read for so many reasons that I've never sought out a book club). It's a pretty great concept - reading a book you want to read with your friends. A concept that I've thought about for a while now should really be part of every single ELA curriculum. Book clubs allow us to offer students curated choices, present more diverse voices as part of our curricula, and expand on themes and genres to give students a wider range of experiences through their conversations with classmates. Win, win, win. Today on the pod, I want to show you how easy it is to wave your book club wand and easily turn part of your curriculum into book clubs.

Buckle up, because the drama is sizzling. Kyle and Amanda have split, mullets are terrorizing the nation, and Ciara and West might be rekindling something… or maybe we're just delusional. We break down book club antics, Audrey and Austin's breakup, plus: the regrettable chickens. Don't listen if Craig tells you to get chickens.

Today's episode is with two guests whom I met online, but who didn't know each other before we got together to record our episode.Both are involved in interesting projects that help others to learn. Both are bringing people together to learn more about their language and culture.Carla runs a weekly Italian reading group online, where she brings people together to discover Italian literature. At the same time, they have the opportunity to refine their language skills, give opinions, and understand more about the language through reading the books.Margarida runs a fortnightly Portuguese conversation group, primarily in Lisbon. Participants can develop their speaking skills, ask questions about the Portuguese language and culture, receive feedback on their writing, and make new friends.We discussed how each of the groups works, who would most benefit from each one, the value that comes from learning as part of a guided group, and at the end there's some advice for people who might feel anxious about signing up to new language practice groups.Here's the show notes page: https://www.englishwithkirsty.com/podcast/episode303

Happy pub' day Elizabeth! Award-winning author and journalist Elizabeth Arnott spoke with us about her early studies of serial killers, a wild journalism career, and her latest period-set crime novel THE SECRET LIVES OF MURDERERS' WIVES. Elizabeth Arnott has written critically acclaimed historical fiction as Lizzie Pook (her maiden name). As a journalist, she covered everything from true crime to Arctic exploration and appeared in publications such as The Sunday Times, National Geographic, The New York Times Book Review, and The Guardian among others. She has described her much-anticipated latest historical crime novel as Mad Men with murders, and Lessons in Chemistry with a body count. The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives [available for pre-order and landing March 3, 2026; Berkley Hardcover], is a story that “... centers on three unlikely friends—all former wives of serial killers—and their efforts to solve a string of local killings in 1966 California.” The book was acquired in a heated seven-way auction and named one of “The Best Books for Book Clubs in 2026” by Glamour, and among “The 10 Most-Anticipated Mystery-Thriller Books of 2026” by Marie Claire. Parade wrote of the book, “... a story that feels like Bright Young Women collided with Mindhunter …. a propulsive, period-set whodunit perfect for anyone who loves early criminal profiling and Mad Men-era aesthetics with bite.” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

Literacy rates are falling in the U.S. Reading scores for high school seniors nationwide saw their lowest levels since 1992 last year.

U.S. publishing revenues totaled $32.5 billion in 2024.And Wuthering Heights is about to hit movie theaters, prompting long loan lines in Delaware libraries.On this edition of Enlighten Me, Delaware Public Media's Abigail Lee looks into Delaware's many book clubs and the benefits their members reap.

As a follow-up from our episode on storytelling, we our Winter 2024 Book Club explored Dr. Susan Schneider's 2012 opus, The Science of Consequences, as an example of taking the hugely important concept of learning through consequences and making it understandable to the wider public. But hey, while she was at it, why not explain how consequences impact evolution, or gene expression, or social improvement strategies. And add multiple examples of how consequences work in labs and the natural environment across a wide range of human and non-human species. And make it fun to read! But before our crack Book Club squad dives into the nitty gritty of the content, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Schneider herself to ask how she managed to take millions of years of the effects of consequences and pack it into a 300+ page book as well as how her study of consequences informs her current work as a climate change policy advocate. This episode is available for 2.5 LEARNING CEUs. Content discussed in this episode: Schneider, S.M. (2012). The science of consequences: How they affect genes, change the brain, and impact our world.

SUMMARY: This episode is a replay from a previous season of Ops Experts, but the conversation remains just as relevant today. Aaron Hovivian, Terryn Turner, and Savannah Newton dive into what it really means to invest in people beyond hiring—focusing on onboarding, culture, and long-term team development. Rather than treating recruitment as a finish line, the discussion emphasizes building systems and environments that help people grow once they're inside the organization. The team explores practical ways leaders can develop their people, including intentional onboarding, clearly communicating company culture, using tools like EOS and the Vision Traction Organizer, and creating shared learning experiences through book clubs, mentoring, and team huddles. The core takeaway: strong operations aren't just about processes—they're built by developing people in a way that's clear, repeatable, and aligned with where the company is going.
