I thought many of the young fans and new coaches who follow the Big Green Women’s Basketball Team might enjoy reading this piece and a companion piece on tough coaching. In shorthand, here is a reminder. <br /><br />Tough Players…..set a good screens; set up their cuts; talk on defense; jump to the ball; don't get screened; get their hands up; play the ball, see their man; get on the floor; close out under control; post their man; not a spot; run the floor; play so hard, their coach has to take them out; get to their teammate first; take responsibility for your teammates; take a charge; get in a stance; finish plays; work on accurate passes; throw themselves into their team's defense; take and give criticism the right way; show strength in their body language; catch and face; don't get split; be alert; concentrate, and encourage their teammates to concentrate; it's not my shot, it's our shot; box out and go to the glass every time; take responsibility for their actions; look their coaches and teammates in the eye, move on to the next play; be hard to play against, and easy to play with,make every game important; make getting better every day your goal.<br /><br />Tough Coaches …say what they mean but are patient when they say it; treat players as individuals but do not play favorites; motivate through teaching (see all above), not through hyperbole; create a vision for their players; listen to learn; make their commentary actionable – that is true teaching; look at the numbers, not to become dependent on them, but to use them to check their reality; remember they are educators, it really is about the kids (each kid!); are not trapped either by their team’s successes or their team’s failures; never use fear to manipulate a team or intimidate a kid.<br /><br />Wow! No wonder the game is such a challenge, but the Dartmouth Women continue to prove it can be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606366964527009419.post-69228985801166052162009-12-06T15:37:29.790-05:002009-12-06T15:37:29.790-05:00It certainly has.

There are so many factors that go into recruiting and every student-athlete's case truly is different. We appreciate the question, though, and expect to see a post on the topic of recruiting in the future. <br />In the meantime, if you have specific questions, touch base with assistant coach Mary Gleason (mary.gleason@dartmouth.edu).<br /><br />Thanks!Dartmouth W Hoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396346356403982410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606366964527009419.post-7782799517709393862009-12-06T15:33:45.014-05:002009-12-06T15:33:45.014-05:00This type of schedule certainly has helped us in t...This type of schedule certainly has helped us in the past.

And it’s never an easy road, but in some parts of the world, when they fix broken objects they repair the damage by filling the cracks with gold and other precious metals. You see, they believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history it becomes more magnificent. <br /><br />As for the ups and downs of the early season, my grandfather always said, “Don’t ask for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.” And the only way to do that is through hard work!

Each player has a different time in which they are expected to finish. However, during the preseason this is not the only testing that occurs, other agility and weight tests are administered to strengthen the athletes and better their level of fitness. The preseason is intense and a lot of time is put in to prepare our student athletes for the beginning of practice.Dartmouth W Hoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396346356403982410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606366964527009419.post-83406558290691325592009-11-02T09:23:28.145-05:002009-11-02T09:23:28.145-05:00What type of exercise levels do the players have t...What type of exercise levels do the players have to achieve in order to pass their overall conditioning tests?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5606366964527009419.post-83857340214836008502009-10-30T17:50:05.868-04:002009-10-30T17:50:05.868-04:00Can you post the pictoral history of the program f...Can you post the pictoral history of the program for those of us that couldn't make it? <br /><br />Would it also be possible to send some of my favorite foods from the Upper Valley?
