    https://teachhoops.com/⁠ ⁠Win the Season Masterclass⁠ ⁠https://hub.wintheseason.com/challenge-optin⁠ Steve Collins welcomes listeners to Coach Unplugged and emphasizes the importance of community engagement through reviews and feedback. He highlights two sponsors, Doctor Dish (a top shooting machine) and TeachHoops.com, his platform for coaching resources, which provides tools and a support network for basketball coaches.

Midseason – Once roles are established, sustaining commitment is challenging, especially as players adjust to their specific roles. Postseason – Preparation for playoffs demands renewed focus and role clarity. Offseason – The real test of commitment, as players dedicate time to skill-building outside the regular season. Steve introduces his course Better Coach OS, designed to help coaches manage and nurture these phases effectively through practical tools.
