#### **THE PLAN**

**Here's The Plan. Not a plan. THE PLAN.**

**The first step is getting good at creating *a* plan. That's the *FIRST *step. So you get in the gym with *a plan.***

**Workout goes fine. Reps are good. Time is efficiently used. You give the player some motivation. Maybe make some notes.**

***"Good job. Keep practicing." If you're really good, you give them a homework assignment. (YIPPEEE!!! Like they don't get enough homework assignments). ***

***It's probably on a piece of paper. Players may love basketball, but the last thing that they want is a homework sheet. ***

***"See you again soon, pal." ***

***"Thanks, Coach!" ***

***And between the time that they have finished the workout and have walked out to their car, ANY MUSCLE MEMORY that they may have improved has already started to leave. ***

***And where does that homework end up? ***

***We'd like to think somewhere important. But doubtful. ***

**What happened to The Plan? **
