Coach Brimmer Region 2 Rep News

Posted in COACHES CORNER, NEWS on October 12, 2013 by OBCA

First off, I’d like to thank David Day for serving OBCA for the last year as our President under his direction among others including the OKC Thunder, the OBCA continues to grow. I’d also like to thank Tundrell Durham for taking over the Presidency and look forward to the next year. Also Mark Wilson for all the work he does behind the scene every year. Lastly I’d to thank the members of Region 2 for letting me serve them for the next 2 years, I truly look forward to the challenge.

As the season grows closer to tipping off, I grow more excited everyday. I go to bed thinking about basketball and I wake up thinking about basketball. I must also find what motivates me. Was it something that took place last year? Was it something that I experienced over the Summer? Is it something that didn’t happen, that I so badly wanted to? Find those things that keeps you motivated to win games, find those things that keep you being a positive influence on the boys that you coach, that helps them grown from adolescence to adulthood.

Here are few things that I find true about most successful coaches on and off the court.

Great coaches:

1) Care about players

2) Earn players respect

3) Adapt system to fit players

4) Criticize w/o discouraging

5) Teach the game!

Once again, thank you for letting me serve the OBCA. If there is anything I can do to help anyone, I will. Feel free to contact me anytime.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT:
Coach Tondrell Durham: McGuinness HS

First of all, I would like to thank the membership of the OBCA for allowing me the opportunity to become president. In addition, I would like to thank David Day for his work and time as the out-going OBCA president. October 1st is around the corner and we all have basketball things going through our basketball minds. I always create a basketball check-list for myself that I try to use going into October 1st.

1. What do I want to accomplish on October 1st?
2. Do I have enough players in the gym to accomplish those things?
3. What drills are important for the first day of practice?
4. Freshman: Non-football players: How much do I give them?
5. Conditioning: What’s enough for the 1st day of practice?

Good luck this season to all the members of the OBCA. If you know of a coach that is not an OBCA member, please speak with that individual because the
OBCA deserves to have every head coach and assistant included in its membership.

Coach Stein helped me gain nearly 20 pounds my senior year of high school. The added size and strength made me a better player on the court and helped me make the transition from high school to college. His program is outstanding.
