This week we are featuring a wonderful guest blog post by Nate Sanderson, Head Coach of the Iowa State Champion Springville Girls Basketball team. This blog originally appeared on Breakthrough Basketball, and I loved it so much I begged them to let me republish it. You NEED to try this with your team next season! I know I am.
Nate realized that as coaches his staff needed to stop "dealing with" parents and start engaging them. They needed to build more trust. He and his staff crafted a few questions for the parents to answer last month at their preseason meeting, and what they learned blew them away. Want to learn what Coach Sanderson and his staff did? Imagine your teams did this?
