Coach Mason Visits the Belgian Basketball Clinic

Dr. Dish is officially taking over the world! I was thrilled to travel to Europe this summer and speak at the Belgian Basketball Clinic! This event attracted coaches all around Europe and also featured some great guest speakers including former NBA coach Kevin Eastman, Rich Czeslawski of our partners at Pure Sweat, and many other great coaches.

Coaches and other attendees were able to receive expert advice from some of the games' best teachers. The clinic touched on every area involving basketball including strength and conditioning, training efficiency, offense/defense, coaching, and game preparation. Every single one of these areas is a crucial piece in becoming a knowledgeable coach or player.

It was a pleasure hearing former NBA coach Kevin Eastman speak on how to be a great coach at any level. He stressed the importance of having a sound routine and also being prepared and ready in everything that you do. Coach Eastman reiterated that players will believe in a coach and the things they say if they are genuinely prepared and knowledgeable. That piece of the game can never be taken away from a coach. Kevin has spent many hours studying the game of basketball and asking questions to why certain things are done in certain ways. When you are scouting a player preparation is key and when you are preparing for an opponent preparation is key. Success begins with preparation and organization and the coaches that master these aspects are the ones who are most accomplished.
