  • The 1-Hour Basketball Coach - Full Audiobook
    Sep 6 2026

    You only get one hour a week.


    That means every minute matters.


    The 1-Hour Basketball Coach is a practical guide for volunteer, rec, travel, and middle school coaches who want to run better practices without becoming full-time basketball junkies. Instead of handing you a giant playbook full of complicated drills and scripted offense, this book gives you eight simple frameworks you can use right away.
    Inside, you’ll learn how to:
    • Start practice with games that actually prepare players to perform.
    • Organize one hour into focused 10-minute segments.
    • Use constraints to teach decision-making instead of over-coaching every possession.
    • Build skills downstream from the situations players actually face in games.
    • Simplify offense with a clear order of operations.
    • Create flexible platform drills instead of reinventing practice every week.
    • Give shorter, clearer, more effective instructions.
    • Use all the people, space, and tools available to you.
    If you coach young players and want practices that are more engaging, more efficient, and more game-ready, this book will help you make the most of every hour.
