Free Day 1: Foundation Practice

What You Get

A Real Practice Plan

Most "first practice" advice is wishful thinking — bond with the kids, set expectations, run sprints. That's fine, but it's not a practice plan.

Day 1 of the 19-Day Basketball Blueprint is the actual minute-by-minute layout Coach DeForest uses to open a season. Warmup. Footwork. Stance. The two drills that introduce the offensive language. The single defensive concept you teach on Day 1 and not Day 2. The cool-down conversation.

In the Free Sample

• Full Day 1 practice plan with timing for each block
• The four habits you set on Day 1 that show up in February
• The one drill that sorts out who actually played defense in the offseason
• Coaching notes on what to say (and what to skip) at the team meeting

If you're tired of showing up to the first practice with a half-formed plan and winging it, this is the file for you.
