Coaching youth basketball: rewarding talent vs. effort | Life Advice w/ Ryen Russillo Ep. 95

Episode date: 3/23/21
0:00 Question 1
7:45 Question 2
Question 1: Youth basketball coach writes in. He gives a hard working hustle player a lot of minutes, and has two other talented kids who are a huge pain in his ass and don’t give any effort on defense. The talented kids’ parents are giving him a lot of shit, and he wants to know if he is doing the right thing in his allocation of playing time.
Question 2: Woman writes in about her husband’s friend’s girlfriend. Normally, the husband’s friend is awesome but his girlfriend was clearly bringing him down the whole weekend. She emphatically wants someone to say something to the friend, but the husband and other friends are reluctant. She wants Ryen’s opinion.

30 kids in junior high is CRAZY. We were supposed to have 12 in 7th grade and our coach only picked 11💀 realistically should have been 10 but I was starting pg and my friend was tall and wore Jordan’s so he got the 11th spot lol
