Are you a beginner coach trying to teach your team everything you know?
Most beginner coaches make the same mistake. They try to fix everything at once. But what if that’s the very reason your team isn’t improving?
In this episode of the Beyond the Scoreboard Podcast, Coach Justin Furtado breaks down this common pitfall—especially in basketball and other complex sports—and provides a clear, actionable system to fix your team's focus and build a winning culture. Now, stop seeing confused athletes and start making consistent progress from day one.
In this episode, you will learn the 3 crucial steps to fix this mistake:
- Define Your Identity: Why establishing your core philosophy is non-negotiable.
- Master the 2-3: How to choose and relentlessly focus on only 2-3 core values in every practice.
- Adapt Your System: The key to adjusting your philosophy based on the specific personnel (athletes) you have each season.
Whether you coach basketball, soccer or any youth sport, and you want your players to understand the vision, buy in immediately, and execute consistently, this framework is for you. Discover how elite coaches simplify their systems, adapt to their players, and build a winning culture that actually lasts. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to do it all — this one’s for you.
