As an educator and leader, Sean LeBeauf is particularly adept in the following areas:
In coaching, some styles prove to be more successful than others. In order to get their team and their players to victory, coaches must think seriously about their approaches and how they want to be seen. One coaching style that has been found to help many coaches successfully run their teams is “lean coaching.”
When you’re coaching young basketball players, it can be tricky to get them open for shots off an inbounds pass. I’ve found that the process requires you consistently practice inbound plays. These plays need to be simple enough that young players understand them, but still challenging enough that they can sharpen their skills.
With 5 National Championships, Olympic gold medals, and a litany of other accomplishments, Coach Mike Krzyzewski realizes that there’s more to what he does than teaching X’s and O’s on the court. He’s teaching life lessons about how to build a winning team.
Basketball is a rigorous sport that requires a lot of energy expenditure, and, therefore, an adequate intake of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats).
