Reggie Morton’s Basketball coaching axioms are simple, but powerful: “Play hard/play together!” and “Pride in yourself/pride in your team.” He goes on to outline more of his coaching philosophy. “The athlete needs to be given the opportunity to develop her skill level in a strong learning environment that constantly challenges her, while providing both encouragement and support. The athlete will benefit when exposed to challenging drills that require effective decision making and precise execution under pressure. When dealing with highly motivated and committed athletes, the level of individual communication is important, giving them the opportunity to provide input.”
