Most, if not all, of your attention paid to Virginia Tech athletics this summer will focus on the football team. And for good reason, the Hokies host the top-ranked and reigning national champion Ohio State Buckeyes on Labor Day Night. But if it slipped past your radar, Hokies basketball is also preparing for its upcoming season.
Virginia Tech men's basketball coach Buzz Williams shared a video of himself addressing the 2015-16 Buzzketball squad at the start of summer session I.
#getBETTER is still part of Buzz's message, and there's an emphasis on the players holding each other accountable. Buzz explained some of the philosophy behind that talk on his personal website. Buzz's entire post is worth the time to read, but the transparent coaching strategy excerpted below really struck me.
This time of the year, I am not allowed coach games and are limited with our practice time on the court with the guys, but what is it that I can do to '#getBETTER?' What can I read?...Who can I learn from? So I gave them a copy of my calendar over the past 5 months, which has all the details of each day, some of which involves our team, others that do not. I used that as a reference to explain that my vision was important to me, but how it was also connected to our vision as a program, and how/where I spend my time in the summer, will also be revealed in the winter. I detailed to them what I did, and where I went when they were home after the Spring semester, and why.
