In late August, I was fortunate enough to attend and invite only Coaching U Clinic at Kean Univesrsity.  The two day clinic was given by Kevin Eastman and Brendan Suhr and was one of the most valuable clinics that I have ever attended.  There were so many topics that were covered over the course of two days that it was hard not to walk out of there with a wealth of knowledge. 

During one of Kevin Eastman’s presentations, he spoke about game changers, what they were, and there affect on the game.  Here are four game changers that I picked up from Kevin Eastman.  This may seem simple and trivial but these are the little things that make a big difference in the game. 

1.   50/50 Game

• Long rebounds, loose balls, etc. We need to control 75% of them.

2.   Be the first to the floor.

3.   Charges

• One per quarter.

4.   Deflections

• 24 in a 32 minute game.

The more you go after, the more you get.
