James: I think to be a good coach, you must first have communication skills and be well prepared.
Today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the 13th episode of the second season, and James and host Nash talked about many topics. The topic of this issue is for fans' Q&A.
Fans: "What can make a good coach?"
James: "I think to be a good coach, you must first make the player responsible, be very clear about what you want to achieve, and it must be like this every day. It is important to emphasize that this is what we want to do, and this is the way we want to play. At the same time, once you build trust with the players, if you have corresponding personnel, you have to have a player on the court to continue your coaching philosophy, and the relationship between you and him is deeper than the other 14 people. You may also have two such players. Regarding coaching, since I was a child, the coach has always inspired the best performance of my team and I. Until now, the coach will not hide the facts and will not be afraid to have that kind of conversation. Also, it is to have a clear understanding and be well prepared.
"Being a coach is well prepared, and every day can be reflected, including training, video conferences and games. Of course, the outcome will come from one's own results. The way basketball rebounds is different, and there are some things you can't control. But what you can control is how well you prepare when you walk onto the court as a player. I think your coach and coaching staff are just about making you feel like you have the answers to the exam, just performing it in place on the field. Of course there are too many other elements, but I think communication skills and preparation are excellent qualities that a coach can start from here. Each of us is different. The communication method you are suitable for may be to laugh and laugh, and the communication method of other people may be to pull them aside and communicate in private. I may speak louder to some people, and whisper to some people. I don't think players should always focus on the way they speak, but what they say. You can't be emotional about the process. I think you can start with the two excellent qualities of communication skills and preparation, and you can learn everything else. As the years go by, we are all constantly learning. If that is a career that you have passionate, you will continue to learn from it. ”
