In this episode of Combo's Court, Combo is joined by Coach Midrange to break down the chaotic showdown between Nas and Isaiah Briscoe — a matchup the basketball world hasn't stopped talking about. They get into why this 1v1 felt different from the opening possession, how the crowd and constant stoppages shaped the flow of the game, and why the 30-point 1v1 format becomes a battle of conditioning, poise, and strategy instead of pure skill. Combo and Coach Midrange also zoom out to the bigger picture: • Why modern 1v1 basketball is becoming its own sport • How YouTubers have blurred the line with pros • Why “skill work vs CLA” is misunderstood • The evolution of basketball trainers They wrap with Coach Midrange's current Top 1v1 Hoopers list and where the entire 1v1 YouTube space is headed next!

Plus, the debate of the week: is it acceptable—maybe even noble—to forfeit a game if the puck drops at an hour normally reserved for airport shuttles and regrettable life choices? We settle it, kind of.

In this episode of Inside The Wolf's Den, Shawn and Joni explain how to maximize time and skill growth through strategic outsourcing and efficient habits, and dive into the busy reality of running five businesses, leading teams, and balancing a thriving family and marriage. The hosts reveal how strategic outsourcing and disciplined efficiency help them manage it all, answering the perennial questions: How do you manage it all? Do you sleep? The core idea is clear: time is a finite resource, and outsourcing becomes a strategic move when earnings exceed roughly $16/hour, freeing up time for learning, side projects, rest, and further business growth. The show details practical outsourcing for meal-related tasks, cleaning and laundry, yard work, and child care, highlighting where time is truly saved. They break down groceries, meal planning, and batch cooking, providing time estimates and options such as grocery delivery or meal kits. Cleaning and laundry receive similar scrutiny, offering insights into when to hire help or leverage nanny services. Yard work and childcare are examined for their substantial time costs, with concrete savings through dedicated services and care providers. Each segment weighs costs versus time saved and dependencies on schedules, delivering a pragmatic map for reclaiming hours. Focusing on reinvesting saved time, Shawn and Joni explain why skill development matters as a force multiplier. They outline actionable, path goal aligned learning, micro lessons, deliberate practice, and time blocking, along with metrics to track progress. The episode wraps with the mantra: “Time is money, but money can buy time,” encouraging listeners to reinvest saved hours into their future selves and higher earning potential.

He cites Wayne Gretzky as his childhood hero, appreciating his intelligence and skill in hockey. Michael Wright relates to these experiences, sharing his own memories of school uniforms and the visible signs of play.12:23 -Understanding Game-Based Learning in BasketballChris Oliver highlights the limitations of traditional basketball drills, which tend to prioritize memorization and technique over real-game scenarios. He stresses that effective practice should involve playing games that reflect actual conditions, allowing players to develop their perception and decision-making skills. By focusing on the principle of spacing, Oliver illustrates how players must adapt their decisions based on the presence of teammates and opponents.20:36 -Exploring Myelination and Skill Development in Basketball CoachingMichael Wright highlights the importance of myelination in developing efficient neural pathways for basketball skills while addressing the need for athletes to make decisions during gameplay.

Oliver stresses the importance of timing in cuts, advising players to "be late, not early" to enhance scoring opportunities.29:35 - Exploring Constraints in CoachingChris Oliver highlighted the significance of shifting from "must" actions to possibilities in coaching, which can help players better understand off-the-ball movement. Michael Wright agreed and pointed out the benefits of practicing in game-like situations, such as 11 v 11, to improve player visibility and decision-making. He also noted the potential pitfalls of incentivizing certain actions, which can lead to players focusing on scoring rather than making strategic plays.32:31 -Coaching Philosophy and Player Development in BasketballChris Oliver discusses the need for coaches to prioritize decision-making in practice rather than overwhelming players with technical details. He highlights his successful approach of focusing on five-on-five gameplay, which not only improved team performance but also increased player enjoyment. Michael Wright contributes by suggesting practice designs that incorporate specific scenarios to enhance skill development while maintaining player engagement.38:28 -Best Practices in Coaching MethodologiesChris Oliver discusses the impact of Dennis Gates and his coaching staff at the University of Missouri, who have successfully implemented deeper coaching methodologies that focus on athlete retention and enjoyment in the sport.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, host Daniel Koonce sits down with Lori Hull, founder and president of Spectrum Independence Living, better known as SpIndL. Lori shares her inspiring journey as a parent of a young adult with autism, the struggles she's faced finding support services, and her determination to create real change in her Arkansas community.SpIndL was founded to help neurodivergent adults, particularly those with autism, bridge the daunting gap, often called the “services cliff,” that follows high school graduation.

SpIndL steps in to provide life skills coaching, job readiness training, social opportunities, and eventually supported housing. Their goal is to help neurodivergent individuals gain confidence, find meaningful work, and live independently.Additionally, Lori highlights the power of community alliances, affordable solutions (including scholarships for coaching classes), and the transformative impact of social events like game nights. The episode offers practical advice for caregivers, educators, and business leaders about fostering inclusivity and dismantling barriers to employment and independence.

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, ShootXP founder and skill acquisition expert Mark Upton joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on better coaching and skill development.Mark Upton is a globally respected coaching and skill acquisition expert with over two decades of experience shaping youth sport and learning design. His career began in Australia, sparked by a childhood passion for basketball and a deep curiosity about how people learn. That early interest evolved into a professional journey spanning sport science, coaching, performance analysis, and applied research.Throughout the 2000s, Mark worked with professional teams, national sporting organizations, and institutes of sport, helping coaches build game-like learning environments and understand athlete development through performance systems and skill acquisition science. His early writing and speaking engagements positioned him as a thoughtful contributor to the emerging online dialogue around coaching and learning.In the 2010s, Mark's influence grew through thought leadership and blogging, where he challenged traditional coaching methods and advocated for nonlinear pedagogy, deliberate play, and practices that foster decision-making and adaptability. His work encouraged coaches to move beyond isolated drills and embrace complexity in training design.By the late 2010s, Mark embraced a neo-generalist philosophy, expanding his focus beyond sport to include systems thinking, organizational development, and human learning. His writing at markupton.life reflects this broader perspective, offering insights that bridge disciplines and help people navigate complexity in learning environments.In the 2020s, Mark founded ShootXP, a basketball development platform that integrates skill acquisition science, technology, and analytics to support youth players, coaches, and families. ShootXP emphasizes long-term growth over short-term success, helping users understand that real development comes through challenge, struggle, and meaningful engagement—not trophies or shortcuts.Today, Mark continues to influence the global coaching community through ShootXP, his writing, and consulting.

The two of us philosophize about the distinctions between education versus learning and why even the most prestigious schools are failing today's children.As moms on the homeschooling track, we reveal how we are reclaiming the lost art of lifelong learning and why we are not subscribing to the school system's broken idea of "education" i.e. memorization, regurgitation and rigid metrics. We relish in the endless opportunities to shape our children's worldview and share which values are most important for us to cultivate in our children as they transition into older toddlerhood and ultimately young childhood.Takeaways from our discussion:Nurturing a child's interests can cultivate a lifelong love of learning.Homeschooling doesn't have to be rigid; it can be play-based.Values instilled at home shape a child's worldview.Community plays a vital role in a child's developing group dynamics skills.Food choices impact a child's health and awareness.Creative play is essential for learning and development.Observation and awe are key in developing mindfulness.Breaking free from traditional education can empower children.Language development is fostered through real-world communication.Patience and presence are crucial in nurturing a child's growth.PS- Our MOTR merch has dropped!
