Introduction

In this episode, Alex Sarama welcomes back Markus Klusemann, Director of Health Performance Development at OTE, to discuss the upcoming Coach Education Workshop. The workshop aims to bridge the gap between science and coaching by providing coaches with a holistic overview of player development and practical strategies they can implement on the court. Markus and Alex also delve into the challenges and differences in player development across different basketball environments, such as North America, Europe, and Australia. They explore the concept of minimal effective instructions (MEIs) and how it can be applied to enhance coaching and player performance. Throughout the episode, they discuss the importance of queuing and attentional focus in coaching, as well as the impact of the CLA lens on health and performance development.
