The By Any Means Coaches Podcast
Coleman Ayers (@byanymeansbasketball) talks new book: The Modern Basketball Blueprint
Coleman and Tyler take a look into how Coleman built the exact philosophies that you can read about in his book, there's so much to learn from someones journey and their experiences.
Coleman is a trailblazer in the player development space, he's forged his own path and didn't necessarily follow the traditional: play, intern as a rebounder/passer/defender, assistant coach and then finally start to create your own path. He's been creating his own path since he was 16.
This book is a culmination of all of his experimentation, trials and tribulations, the lessons he's learned, the researched he's done, the knowledge he's gathered and so on. One of the coolest aspects that separates Coleman is his vast experience amongst a plethora of different cultures across the entire globe - this has helped shape him as a coach, person, etc.
We touch on what the CLA has meant for him, how important it is and also a little about what the future holds. Lastly we cover his performance background and why it's so important to at least know enough to be dangerous if you want to truly build an athlete in a holistic manner.
There's so much more that we couldn't cover, however, that's why there's a book! This was an appetizer, make sure to go check out the 'The Modern Basketball Blueprint' as well as his first book 'Deep Skill', links are below.
