Why Coaches Struggle During the Season and How to Fix It
Every basketball season comes with its challenges, and for many coaches, one of the biggest hurdles is keeping practices fresh and effective. Players thrive on variety, yet so many of the drills used today are outdated and fail to replicate the demands of an actual game. Repeating the same routines can lead to disengagement, slower growth, and a lack of readiness for real-game situations.
The problem lies in the disconnect between practice and performance. Many traditional drills don’t teach players how to read defenses, react to pressure, or make decisions on the fly. Game situations are dynamic—players must assess, adapt, and act quickly. Unfortunately, if they’re not given the tools to solve problems during practice, they’ll struggle to execute during games.
The truth is, the best players are the best problem-solvers. They excel because they’ve been exposed to scenarios that require critical thinking, creativity, and decision-making. That’s where small-sided games (SSGs) come in.
Programs like SSG Volume 1 are designed to bridge the gap between practice and games by putting players in high-pressure situations that mimic real play. These drills force players to make quick reads, communicate effectively, and take ownership of their decisions. The result? Smarter players, better outcomes, and a team that’s mentally and physically prepared for anything.
If you’re a coach looking to revitalize your practices and see tangible improvements, it’s time to move beyond outdated drills. Teach your players to think, adapt, and solve problems on the court—and watch their confidence and performance soar.

1. What are Small-Sided Games, and why are they effective?
Small-Sided Games (SSGs) are drills designed to simulate real-game situations in a smaller, controlled format. By reducing the number of players, SSGs create more opportunities for decision-making, skill execution, and learning game dynamics. They improve basketball IQ, enhance skills, and foster better teamwork.
2. Who is this program for?
SSG Vol. 1 is ideal for coaches at any level who want to develop smarter, more skilled players. It’s also great for players looking to improve decision-making, teamwork, and individual skills in game-like scenarios.
3. How is SSG Vol. 1 different from traditional drills?
Traditional drills often focus on isolated skill development, while SSGs integrate skills into live-game contexts. This program challenges players to think, react, and adapt in real-time situations, making the transition to actual games seamless.
4. How long will it take to see results?
Results depend on how often you incorporate the drills into practice. Coaches typically see improved decision-making, communication, and execution within a few weeks of consistent use.
5. Do I need special equipment to run these drills?
Not at all! Most drills require only basic basketball equipment: basketballs, cones, and a hoop. The focus is on maximizing your current resources to improve your team.
6. Is this program included in the All-Access Pass?
Yes! If you’ve purchased the All-Access Pass, SSG Vol. 1 is already included. Simply log in and start using the program immediately.
7. Can I use this program for youth teams?
Absolutely! While the drills can challenge older and more advanced players, they’re also adaptable for youth teams to teach foundational skills and decision-making.
8. How long do the drills take to set up and run?
Most drills are designed to be quick to set up and easy to understand. They fit perfectly into team practices and individual workouts without taking up too much time.
