Northern State men's basketball coach Don Meyer has a great phrase: "It's not what you teach, it's what you emphasize."
One of my fundamental coaching philosophies is competition. We should always be competing, not just on game-day but throughout the week in practices. In order to better "emphasize" this fundamental, I'm going to give a weekly award (jersey) to the player who is the competitor of the week. They can wear the jersey all week to practice, sort of like a badge of honor.
I'd love to hear ideas from other coaches of ways they reward/emphasize player performance.
