I'm a client success coach success coach with make money coaching sports where we help coaches grow their business to six figures plus per year help more kids and Live their dream of helping others in the sport that they absolutely love to coach So if you're looking to connect after this, you could text me at the number behind me 732-908-2315 text me the word grow or you can schedule a call on the calendar below So do you need to be a great basketball player yourself or have had a great career to be a basketball? skills trainer or coach The answer to that if you you know, you could probably stop watching this video right now If you want to is no you don't and and the reason for that is You could be a great player. Let's talk about like let's say Alan Iverson Do you think Alan Iverson could teach other people what he could do? most likely not Could JR Smith teach his abilities to somebody else? And there's I'm just picking names out that I don't think would be a great coach But I mean I could be wrong But if I had to guess I would say certain players that are really really good And I've come across them that you know the college level and just meeting other people Just because you're the best player doesn't mean you're the best coach And you don't have to have been the best player on your team to be a good coach a great coach or trainer studies the game Right they are a great communicator They're able to talk about what people do who are very very good at the game So they might be able to show you a video and point out these little details Let's say they have a Kyrie Irving video and they might be able to show a player Hey, look the way he turns his foot this way look with the position of his shoulders, right? He doesn't have to be like Kyrie himself As long as he can explain to his player they got person he's working with How he can he or she can improve now Does it does it give you a little bit more validity at first if you're good to yourself It could help right at first because some people are kind of I Don't want to say ignorant to to this fact but like some people think oh like Like where did you play and how many points you score and think like it doesn't? Necessarily matter what does it doesn't matter what matters is Can you help other people get better? Right your playing career doesn't really have to do with that doesn't look better at first probably but If you are only relying on hey, I played division one and I scored this many points and you should come train with me like if I'm Looking for a coach or trainer. I am not If somebody is leading with that That's not a good sign because what they're saying is look at what I did Not how I can help your kid just because you played at a certain level doesn't mean you can help that child Get to that level unless you're a good teacher. You communicate really well You study the game right your analytical you break things down you teach in detail like being good physically talented Doesn't translate most even most times it doesn't even translate most times a lot of times it's the player on the team who Had to who play when they played had to be a little bit more crafty because they weren't as athletic or as talented Right now that being said Is somebody gonna respect you if you literally like dribble and you smack the ball like it's like a six-year-old Probably not right. Of course. There's some level of like Hey, dude, are you like a complete like? Spaz when you You can't literally can't even like walk and chew gum here. Well, I mean and I'm not talking about people with Disabilities, of course Because you could be somebody with a disability and still be a great coach you just have to you might just have to show Somebody else doing it or mimic the actions Slow with no ball Right, you don't have to be a great player um That's only that only helps like your playing resume when people like first Like oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna play with I'm gonna train with so-and-so. He was in the g league Right, but then if you train with the person you're like this guy It's not a great coach like Talks about himself and that what he used to do like that doesn't that doesn't do anything for you. It's not about Coach it's about how can coach help you and if he can't articulate and explain and communicate effectively It doesn't really matter that he played at UCLA and went to the g league and went to that like Um, can you be at that how level of player and still be a great communicator? Of course, that's like That's only like icing on the cake. That's like extra It's cool. It's great, but it's like Doesn't have to do with the kid right everything's about the kid. Can you make the kid better? That's it. That's what people care about So I know this video is longer than it has to be but if you're looking to Grow your business like and I'm not talking about like Hey, I want to make some extra money as a side hustle like I'm not talking to I'm not talking to those people talking to people like Hey, I want to quit my job because I love coaching basketball so much and I want to do this full time I'm talking to that person right if that's you Text me the word grow to 732-908-2315 if you are looking to Start or grow quit your job Earn a full-time income Right six figures a year Coaching basketball because of this possible.
