Coaching Portfolio for Basketball Fulshear

BASKETBALL AFFORDS ME THE ABILITY TO IMPACT LIVES! My Teaching/Coaching Philosophy My goal in teaching and coaching is to impact the lives of my students and players and make a difference. PASSION As a basketball coach, I want to leave a legacy of how to run a successful girls basketball program, help kids to improve their skills and have the platform and intangibles to be successful in life. My goal every day is to create passion in every workout. Keep the same passion and energy from the beginning. RELATIONSHIPS I have learned from great coaches like Coach Bob Starkey, Joi Williams, Ron Hughey, Dawn Staley and Katie Abrahamson that it’s about relationships with my players, yet I need to be fair and demanding, but hold them accountable. RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE RULES! Players will see if you care before they will BELIEVE IN YOU. MENTOR “Mentors”- they guide us and challenge us to be our best. They shape our faith and our lives. Good mentors create good leaders. As a coach/educator we wear many hats. But there is no hat more important than the hat that is labeled mentor. I believe that to be a good mentor, I must be: a good listener, help the student athlete solve the puzzle, be truthful with my student athletes, develop the relationships, develop trust.

CHAMPIONSHIP VISION The following is the “Championship Vision” that we want to achieve in our Girls Basketball program. If we want to be a championship program we must strive to meet all of these goals every season. To be a CONSISTENT CHAMPION we must be totally committed to these goals as it will be part of our CULTURE Championship “VISION” “WE Will BE A Consistent competing program that gets 1% better everyday” 1. BUILT TO LAST: “Committed over the long run.” 2. TEACH “LIFE SKILLS”: “Rings don’t mean you are a champion.” We want to develop great people. 3. PRESERVE OUR CORE VALUES: We want players who are committed to our vision. We believe that FAMILY-INTEGRITY-SERVANTHOOD-TOUGHNESS are the core values which lead to success on the court and in life. 4. DEMANDING “CULTURE”: We want to create a sense of belonging and identity to something special. 5. GOOD ENOUGH NEVER IS: We are never satisfied. We are constantly looking to get better. F.I.S.T: “FAMILY-INTEGRITY-SERVANTHOOD- TOUGHNESS”

Our “Top 10”: BUILDING OUR “CULTURE” The following Action Plan will take one to three years to accomplish. For us to be a consistent winning girls basketball program, each one of these objectives must be met each season. Champions focus, not on winning championships and outcomes, BUT on the mental process of building a strong foundation/culture that will ultimately create peak performance on a consistent basis, thus placing them in position to be the best they can be and, as a byproduct, win themselves a conference, league or state championship. The success of the individual depends on the success of TEAM. The strength of the wolf is in the pack. All sports, individual or group, demand teams with culture. 1. Have a Philosophy: “CHAMPIONSHIP VISION”! 2. Make Each Year Different: Each season, we have our team create a team “theme” that grabs our players’ attention and something that is new to get them ready and excited about the season. 3. Team Expectations: Our number one expectation is “Don’t let your teammates down”. We clearly communicate to our players, parents and coaches what the expectations are for our program. 4. Surround Myself with Great People: I want coaches who are great people and are loyal to our program. In addition, I want people who care about the student-athletes and are very knowledgeable about basketball. 5. “PLAYING THE RIGHT WAY”: WE WANT PLAYERS WHO ARE GOING TO PLAY DEFENSE! WE ARE A DEFENSIVE PROGRAM! 6. Practice Planning: Planning our practices is one of the most important phases of our coaching in our program. “What happens in practice is the lifeblood for success in our basketball program.” We form our practices by creating a game plan with a season master plan, monthly practice plan, weekly practice plan, and then spending time planning our daily practices. 7. Strength and Conditioning Program: We use a conditioning program in our Girls’ basketball program. We emphasize the legs, hips and shoulders in our strength and conditioning program. Our conditioning program is designed to make our players better athletes, and help prevent injury. We have three levels of conditioning in our program: ✓ Off-season program: (April-August) ✓ Pre-season program: (September-October) ✓ In-season program: (November-March) 8. Facilities: We take a lot of PRIDE in our facilities. We want our players and coaches to take OWNERSHIP in their facilities and equipment. We teach our players how to take care of the facilities. For example, sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning up the locker room, keeping all materials off the floor. We want our locker room looking like a championship level program. We build our tradition through our locker room by having excellent individual lockers for each player, team recognition plaques from the past, motivational plaques on the wall with our philosophy and core values. In addition, the coach’s office has to be a “classy” office—neat and organized, team pictures and motivational plaques on the wall. If a parent comes into my office, they will judge our program based on how the office looks. Coaches must take PRIDE in their office.

9. Off Season Commitment: “The seeds to success in the winter are sown in the spring and summer.” We are fortunate that the majority of our returning players on varsity and middle school make a commitment to continue our program’s success. This commitment is demonstrated through their dedication to our off-season program. We feel that having our players participate in an evaluated improvement process is critically important aspect toward keeping our program strong year-in and year-out. At the end of each season, we give each of our players a structured improvement plan. Our players are very motivated to improve and most don’t mind putting in the summer work. We have a very competitive program and it’s hard to make our team if you don’t work during the off-season. 10. Exposure—Selling Our Program: This is one of the most important parts of our basketball program. Develop a great “FEEDER SYSTEM.” This phase takes the most extra effort because many of the tasks will have to do with getting people to take notice of our program. Here are some of the key aspects of getting exposure for our program: o Head coach needs to get out in the community and sell the program o Locker Room for GIRLS BASKETBALL PROGRAM o Media Guide o Speaking engagements at schools o Creating a website for the GIRLS BASKETBALL PROGRAM o Basketball clinics/ summer camps for elementary school kids o Coaching clinics for lower level feeder coaches

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT We are deeply passionate about player development in the game of life and basketball through a comprehensive system of play that our team can execute efficiently. This will allow us to experience the consistent results of competing and winning Championships on and off the court.

CORE VALUES THE “FIST” We believe the promotion and enhancement of student learning and personal development is the primary purpose of athletics. We believe student learning and personal development includes the development of intellectual, emotional, social, physical and ethical capacities. The coaching staff will acknowledge and emphasize our FIST VALUES in every team practice, event and game. Our core values are instrumental for lifelong success and helping our athletes become role model citizens. Our message is much larger than the game of basketball. We want to prepare our student athletes for the real world. Anything that can be done to improve the character of our student athletes and team increases our chances for success. The following core values will be taught and addressed in all that we do: FAMILY INTEGRITY SERVANTHOOD TOUGHNESS Any path that leads to success has a strong and sturdy foundation. These four core values will be the cement that holds our 2023-24 Critical Path together. With these values in place and highlighted, the tactical performance goals and academic goals will be obtainable. WINNING will occur.

Fulshear Basketball “Fist” Values OUR “FIST” CORE VALUES OF Fulshear BASKETBALL 1. FAMILY: (Collective Responsibility) Family is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! In a strong family, there is a BOND that cannot be broken. People have complete TRUST in each other. TEAM • Be there for each other • Win or lose, stay together • Don’t let your teammates down • Make decisions that are good 2. INTEGRITY An athlete of character understands and models integrity. Integrity is a choice of behaviors displayed in small daily decisions. Our athletes have actions that follow their words and beliefs. Their core covenants and behavior align. Their yes means yes and no means no. Athletes of integrity say what they mean and follow that exact path. Their word is good, their handshake confirms the deal and their signature is worth something. They are worthy of respect. The first step to building a successful team is surrounding our program with people of integrity. TEAM • Never compromise your values • Ask yourself- What is the right thing to do? • Not compromise what is right! • Make the right decision and stay with it 3. SERVANTHOOD The best team leaders are the first to serve, putting others before themselves. SERVANT LEADERS are the ones who are the first to volunteer to help, never too proud to do work, even the difficult or unpopular jobs, in order for the team to succeed. These jobs are often done without anyone knowing because there is no complaining or comparing. Servant leaders are reliably and consistently servants for the others. On great teams, the leaders are people of integrity. They can be counted on in every situation to do what is right rather than what is expedient. Leaders with personal character provide a model and foundation of trust, honor, and integrity for their followers. They know themselves and what they stand for and by being consistent in word and deed. TEAM • Always contribute to the success of the whole team

• Accept a role that helps the team • Play my designated role on the team with passion • Always speak supportively of teammates and coaches 4. TOUGHNESS (T.P.W) “TOUGH PLAYERS WIN” Our system requires tough coaches and tough players. Tough players are fundamentally sound with attitude toughness (team attitude) and help teammates win! Tough coaches are disciplined, competitive and have a work ethic second to none. We are teachers of the game, consistent with our philosophy and promote values. We think like top- notch corporations who believe in: • Clarity…….all directions and information should be totally clear to our players. • Repetition…..we repeat fundamentals until skills are learned. • Strength…..Our coaches must be strong with philosophy, program commitment and teachings. • Goals….. set goals. • Duration……. Our program and philosophies that endure are solid.

Practice Procedure and Conduct Practice is an essential part of our program. We have a limited amount of time to prepare, so it is important that we use our time most efficiently. Players will be tough, smart, unselfish, and fundamental. We will refine our skills through proper drilling, constant reinforcement, repetition, and competition. Good teams and good players are the by- products of good practices. The following is a summary of the guidelines that will govern our practices. Your adherence to these rules will directly determine the amount of success we have as a team and you have as an individual in the program. Five Practice Commandments of Basketball 1. Be Early for All Functions Being “on time” is a bad habit! Each player needs to be early to better prepare for our endeavors. This time is provided for stretching, warm-up, counseling, taping, and information. If it is 6th period practice be ready to go at 1:45 PM. Game day 1 hour prior to game time unless specified differently by your coach. Summer League rule is 20 minutes prior to game time. Be early and you will be prepared! 2. Wear Proper Practice Gear and Dress in the Locker Room We dress in the locker room period. No exceptions! Do not show up in anything but issued and assigned practice gear. We are a team and a program that does things together. There will be no exceptions! No under shorts will be seen, no colored socks, no shirts under your gear that are not the same color as your practice or game issued gear, no earrings, no hats, no exceptions. 3. Work Hard, Work Smart, and Be Coachable During practice sessions, talking will be confined to asking questions of the coach, encouraging a teammate, or clarifying for understanding. Practice is a business-like environment and there is no substitute for hard work. When practicing you are expected to conduct yourself as a professional would. Since practice time is limited, we must work hard and smart, not allowing any distractions. If you are not directly in a drill you are expected to stand with your teammates watching and listening to what is said. You are expected to give 100% effort each day and to perform to the best of your ability. Be coachable, watch, listen, learn, adjust, and contribute to the learning environment. No player will leave the gym into the wrestling room or foyer without permission from their coach, no exceptions. Distractions will not be tolerated as they disrupt the positive learning environment and will result in disciplinary action.

4. Do Not Miss Practice and Communicate Practice is vital to our success and your success. If you are going to miss a practice, you are required to communicate with your coach by making a phone call to his house or to the school. We want to hear from you, not your parents, so that you learn to be responsible through communication. The only reason for missing a practice is illness, rehabilitation for injury, or serious family considerations. Schedule appointments around practice and check the schedule. If you are injured, you are still expected to attend practice. If you miss a conditioning day you are required to make it up unless injury does not permit it. 5. Accept Responsibility for Your Actions All players will have an understanding and knowledge of the rules and expectations. Players who violate the rules are choosing to be disciplined. When a violation of the Program FIST VALUES, Practice Commandments, or rules and expectations occurs, the player understands that the she must accept responsibility for her actions resulting in disciplinary action(s). Discipline will be set by the coaching staff and will include one warning for minor situations, removal from practice, limitations of playing time, suspension for a game(s) or from the team, and in severe cases, removal from the team. In addition, each player has read and signed a Code of Ethics and The Athletic Code.

Code of Conduct Each player will know and understand that these actions will be used when necessary. All student-athletes in the program must know that discipline is essential in facilitating a positive learning environment for all players in the program. “During the 2-3 hours our players spend on the practice floor they are expected to put full focus, commitment, and dedication into basketball and basketball only. Any player who does anything that could be detrimental to the team- on or off the court—will be subject to disciplinary action deemed appropriate by the coaching staff.” Equipment Care The practice gear, warm-ups, uniforms, travel bags, and the basketball handbook are all issued to you as integral parts of the program at School. It is essential that you take excellent care of your equipment through proper cleaning and security. You are responsible for it and will be required to pay for it if it is lost, stolen, or damaged. The program has inventoried the items. Never wear the gear for anything except for the event for which it is intended. See the guide for Uniform Care and Maintenance. After each game and each practice hang your gear up so it can air out. Do not allow gear to sit in a pile in your bag, as mildew will rot the fabrics away. Make the extra effort to care for the uniforms the right way. We have the best…we want to keep them looking the best! Being well dressed for practices and games is part of the pride we want to carry as a program. Locker Room and Gym Care In holding to our basic philosophy, we believe everything should be done together and in the right manner. Keep the locker room and the gym as clean as possible. No food or drink is allowed in either and pick up after yourself. This pertains to the facility that we visit as well. Be a good, responsible, and caring person who represents the program in a positive manner. Wet mopping will be done by all players in the program and the Varsity Team with take the initiative to set an example by starting daily. Late Practice Policy We use the following system to players who do not conduct themselves according to our rules and expectations. We call this our LATE PRACTICE POLICY: The assistant coach will have the players do the following after practice. It is the responsibility of the players to remember their late practice. Failure to remember a Late Practice will result in a double workout the next practice. A player who violates any of the 5 COMMANDMENTS may also have their playing time affected. Repeated violations and in an inability to meet the demands of the program will result in the player being dropped from the team. WE WANT OUR PLAYERS WELL-DISCIPLINED. Rules Infractions • Being late for a meeting, game or bus time (2 Late Practices) • Not having proper equipment for a practice or game (2 Late Practices) • Leaving your equipment in the gym, locker room or bus (2 Late Practices) • The team leaving equipment in the locker room or bus (3 Late Practices • Failure to meet dress and appearance standards for games (3 Late Practices)

Offensive System OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY We love to play up-tempo basketball. Our style of play is to run and attack. We push the ball up at every opportunity. As we push the ball up the court-we look to score, primary break to secondary break, secondary break and into half-court offense. Our primary goal on offense is to play TEAM BASKETBALL. Team basketball to us, is not forcing shots, making the extra pass, and attacking the basket to score, but willing to pass to the open player if the help stops you. OFFENSIVE MUSTS: 1. WE TAKE CARE OF THE BALL 2. WE RUN OFFENSE UNTIL WE GET A HIGH PERCENTAGE SHOT 3. WE SPRINT THE COURT IN OUR FAST BREAK AND LOOK FOR AN OPEN SHOT 4. WE ARE UNSELFISH IN FINDING THE OPEN PLAYER 5. WE REBOUND WITH THREE REBOUNDERS 6. WE PROTECT THE BASKET WITH TWO DEFENDERS OFFENSIVE SYSTEM GOALS Our offensive system is all about taking care of the ball, getting great shots and offensive rebounding. TEAM OFFENSES We use the following team offenses in our offensive system: • Lane - This is our numbered fast break we use on all missed, and made opponent shots • Triangle- This is our 4 out 1 in motion offense that we use against man to man defenses. • Kansas- This is our ball screen offense we use against man to man defenses. • Color Series- This is our zone offensive series we use against odd and even front zone defenses. • 4 Corners- This is our delay offense we use to control the ball at the end of quarters or at the end of games.

TEAM DEFENSE is our foundation in our program. We will input a Defensive System of play that will allow us to beat the best in our region and to play on the road and to win in the state tournament. I am an old school coach that firmly believes in the great value of defense and its role in developing championship caliber programs. Every decision we make, who we play, how we construct our practices and drills, game planning, each and every decision is based upon our defense. By employing our theory of defense, we will lower our opponent’s field goal percentage, improve our rebounding, and reduce our opponent’s opportunities for lay-ups and easy baskets off either dribble penetration or transition. We do play in such a way that our offense compliments our defense, although this is not completely necessary for our defense to be successful. We work very hard to get what we want offensively and not what the defense chooses to give us. Therefore, we are constantly exploring the opponent’s defense in an effort to get the ball inside, to achieve a great shot, and or to get to the foul line. We want to make our opponent defend! Conversely, while we may not be able to keep our opponent from getting shots, we can certainly have an impact upon what type of shot they take. The two most important stats to Basketball are Defensive Field Goal Percentage and Trips to the Foul Line. We want to force our opponent into tough contested shots, limit them to one shot, and we absolutely do not want to foul! REBOUND– REBOUND– REBOUND: You must rebound to win! We emphasize rebounding in everything we do, everything! We will work on blocking-out every night in some form. We will drill our team 1-on-1, 2-on-2, 3-on-3, and 4-on-4, as well as emphasize this very important objective in our 5-on-5 play.

DEFENSIVE SYSTEM Defensive Musts: 1. BALL PRESSURE- NO FREE LOOKS 2. ROTATION- STOP THE BALL 3. BASKET PROTECTION- NO EASY BASKETS 4. REBOUNDING- COMPLETES THE DEFENSE In brief, we want pressure on the ball at all times. We do not want our opponent to have “free looks”. The ball is the most important thing in the game and consequently we should give it the most emphasis. Team Defenses We are a Field Goal Percentage Defense that likes to protect the basket area, however we like to extend our pressure to the full court on made baskets and dead ball situations as well. However, our main goal is to prevent opponents from getting the ball inside. I. 5 Defense: (Fist)- “PACK-LINE” MAN TO MAN DEFENSE II. 55 Defense (Double Fist) 1-2-1-1 MATCH-UP PRESS III. 40 Defense (SWARM DEFENSE) “RUN AND JUMP” IV. 23 Defense (2-3 Match-up zone) (Thumbs UP) WE EMPHASIZE PLAYING “GREAT TEAM DEFENSE” We practice defense with a full commitment to being the best defensive team in the state. By simply emphasizing defense in every practice in our words and action, we will greatly improve our defense. If our players truly believe that defense is important, our players will make a mental and physical effort to get better at it. Here are a few things we do to emphasize defense in our program: 1. We tell our players at the first team meeting that our first starter will be our best defender and the next starter will be our second-best defender. 2. Talk about defense every day 3. We start each practice with defensive drills 4. Continually sell our team on great defense. We give quotes and examples and video clips. 5. Run drills that reward defensive performance.

TEAM DEFENSIVE STATS We are a FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE DEFENSIVE PROGRAM. • 32% Field Goal Percentage Defense • 53% Rebound Percentage Margin • 12 or less fouls (Keep the opponent from out of the bonus free throws) • 40 Points Allowed DEFLECTIONS (GOAL- 35) Defensive \"deflections\" are a largely unrecognized defensive statistic that coaches should pay a lot more attention to. Why? Because deflections are an index of defensive intensity... a measure of how hard your team, and individual players, are playing on defense. Deflections are not \"official\" stats and thus are not reported in box- scores, nor by the media. You will rarely see it discussed on TV in the pre-game or post-game analyses. We have good stats for offensive skills with shot charts, shooting percentages, free- throws, 2- point and 3-point shooting, assists, offensive (and defensive) rebounding, turnovers, etc. On defense, we chart blocks, steals, and rebounds but that's about it! As coaches, we implore our players to play harder on defense, get scrappy, talk, communicate, pressure the ball, help, hustle... a lot of intangible stuff. This is where charting our team's deflections comes in. We will have an assistant chart deflections, we now have an objective way of determining our defensive intensity. The harder you play on defense, the more deflections, and vice-versa. Deflections are a \"hustle and intensity\" stat. We pay more attention to deflections than almost any other stat. We want to know going into a time-out or half-time, how many deflections we have. We strive for 17 - 22 at half-time and over 35 per game, and if we get 35 or more, most of the time we win. We have an assistant devoted to nothing but charting deflections, during games and in practices. Our teams are noted for their defensive intensity. We measure deflections with the following: TIPPED PASSES; TIPPING A DRIBBLE; MAKING A STEAL; GETTING A LOOSE BALL; BLOCKING A SHOT; TAKING A CHARGE; We want defensive intensity.
