Do This To Improve Effort & Offensive Rebounding

If you want a relatively simple way to get your players to play hard all season long...
Then listen to 4x Illinois Coach of the Year Rob Brost explain why he “charts effort, not outcomes” ... and examples of how to track it!
(NOTE: This video clip is from Rob Brost's Playing Offense At An Uncomfortable Pace - www.breakthrou...)
That’s right...
Instead of focusing on points, rebounds, assists, etc…. Coach Brost charts “effort.”
On top of that... he’ll often distribute playing-time according to how many “effort points” players earn.
Why does he do this?
Because by instilling the habits of hard work and high intensity early in the year... he’s been able to get his players to give maximum effort throughout the year.
So, what exactly does he chart?
Two things…
1) Whether a player beats their man (or the man guarding them) past half-court in transition... a concept he calls “win your race.”
2) Does the 3, 4, and 5 go for an offensive rebound on every play... if yes, they’ll get a “+”... if no, they’ll get a “-”
Listen to Coach Brost go into more detail about why and how he “charts effort, not outcomes” early in the year.
