Notes From Billy Donovan


Role Players:
*Never underestimate how important role players are
*Stars will get the pub, it's the role players whom you need to make sure feel appreciated
*Stars must endear themselves to those role players. Garnett offers anyone a free meal with him on a road trip
*Building chemistry isn't all on the coach, your best players have the best chance to improve chemistry
Approach /Avoidance goals:
*Approach Goals: things the team wants to see accomplished
*Avoidance Goals: things the team is hoping to avoid
*Focus on approach goals. Avoidance goals are too negative, makes teams play to not lose rather than to win
