My Teaching Philosophy

• My Teaching Philosophy
• The more we are exposed to ideas and concepts,
  the more comfortable we become until, in the end,
  they seem quite obvious and even commonplace. As
  a teacher, I use repetition to assist me in
  presenting the information in all formats
  visual, audio and kinesthetic, so no matter how
  you learn, you will have the opportunity to
  learn. Themes are presented and reviewed until
  the tasks become second nature to you.
• My Teaching Credo
• I begin from the premise that our higher
  self-your higher self and my higher self- knows
  what is best for us and is looking out for us by
  guiding, prompting, and leading us to people,
  places and circumstances through serendipity.
• I believe that each teacher brings his or her own
  experiences, strengths, and gifts to the table
  and that, though there may be many courses on
  each subject known, each one will be different
  because of this.
• I feel students should learn from a variety of
  teachers and that my teaching methods and class
  materials are not any better or worse than any
  others, just different.
• I feel it is difficult, if not impossible, to set
  a specific standard that is the ultimate of
  ultimates for any subject no one has all the
  answers for everyone. The best we can do is look
  at the banquet of offerings, tune into the energy
  of each, and follow our gut.
• I believe in empowering my students with the
  knowledge they need to make informed decisions
  about which is the best way for them to go, for
  their highest good.

2009-2010 Region Champions Pinecrest Academy
Catholic School

• This is one of my favorite teams that I coached
  in 2009-10, Early in the season one of my players
  Julia Grimaldi s brother died of a brain tumor.
  Our team dedicated the season to him and had
  4joe on all of our clothes for every game. In
  the region final we played Dominion Christian who
  had a 26-0 record. We played this game with great
  passion and determination and lead the game from
  start to end with a 43-29 victory over a great
  opponent. What I learned from this game is that
  there are more important things than winning and
  when a team plays for something bigger than
  themselves, remarkable things will happen.

Team Theme Pack of
Wolves

• The Wolf Pack
• Each season I give my team a team theme that will
  give them a sense of belonging to a special
  group! This past season we were the pack of
  wolves!

• Wolves have a constant visualization of success.
  The collective wisdom of wolves has been
  progressively programmed into their genetic
  makeup throughout the centuries. Wolves have
  mastered the technique of focusing their energies
  toward the activities that will lead them to the
  accomplishment of their goals.

Parent/Coach Communication

• Both parenting and coaching are very difficult.
  By establishing an understanding between coaches
  and parents, both are better able to accept the
  actions of the others and provide a more positive
  experience for everyone. Parents have the right
  to know, and understand, the expectations placed
  on them and their child. We ask that you wait 24
  hours after a game before meeting the coach.
• COMMUNICATION PARENTS SHOULD EXPECT FROM
  THEIR CHILDS COACH
• 1. Expectations the coach has for your
  child, as well as for other players on the team.
• 2. Locations and times of practices and
  contests.
• 3. Team requirements, special equipment,
  off-season expectations.
• COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT FROM PARENTS
• 1. Concerns regarding their daughter,
  expressed directly to the coach, at the
  appropriate time.
• 2. Specific concerns in regard to the
  coachs philosophy or expectations.
• 3. Notification of any schedule conflicts
  well in advance.
• APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR
  COACH
• 1. The mental and physical treatment of
  your child.
• 2. What your daughter needs to do to
  improve.
• 3. Concerns about your daughters
  behavior.
• ISSUES NOT APPROPRIATE FOR DISCUSSION WITH
  YOUR DAUGHTERS COACH
• 1. How much playing time each athlete is
  getting.
• 2. Team strategy
• 3. Play calling
• 4. Any situation that deals with other
  student athletes.

Defensive System Defense Wins!

• Philosophy
• We love to play defense. Our ball hawking, floor
  slapping, in your face defense is our teams
  greatest strength. We believe and teach that
  great defense is all about heart and hustle.
  Our attitude on defense is that we are going to
  make you work, on every possession to score. We
  are not going to give you any easy baskets. We
  are going to do everything in our power, within
  the rules of the game, to keep you from scoring-
  maximum ball pressure, quick help, taking the
  charge, pressuring the shot, blocking out,
  rebounding. If you make a quick shot, then thats
  OK, but its not going to be easy.

• Defensive Covenants
• Our defensive system is based on one main
  concept STOP THE BALL- getting the ball stopped,
  as early as possible, before it penetrates by
  dribble or pass. In order for us to be a great
  defensive team, we must constantly focus our
  energy and determination towards the
  accomplishment of these three defensive
  principles
• PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE- we want to put
  extreme ball pressure on the player with the
  ball. She must be forced to take her eyes off the
  basket and make her look down to the ground when
  attacking our pressure. In addition, make the
  player with the ball turn her back and be a
  non-threat with the ball.
• NO GAPS- We teach our players off the ball to get
  into their gaps so they are in position not to
  allow any dribble penetration or post touches. We
  teach early help and early recovery.
• ONE AND DONE- All five of our defenders must
  complete the defensive possession by either
  boxing or checking out their offensive opponent.
  The defensive possession is not complete until we
  get the ball.

Offensive System Maximize
Possessions

• Philosophy
• We love to play up-tempo basketball. Our style of
  play is to run and attack. We push the ball up
  the court at every opportunity. As we push the
  ball up the court, we look to score- primary
  break to secondary break, secondary break to our
  set offense.
• Our primary goal on offense is to play team
  basketball. To us, team basketball is about not
  forcing shots, making the extra pass, and
  attacking the basket to score, but willing to
  pass to the open player if the help stops you.

• Offensive Covenants
• We need to execute the following four offensive
  covenants in order to be successful. The shots we
  want within our offensive system are THREE-KEY-
  OR FREE. This means that our players have the
  freedom to shoot the three, drive and into the
  key or drive and get fouled and go to the free
  throw line.
• RUN, RUN, RUN- We want to get easy shots through
  our fast break system. Our ability to hold our
  opponent to one shot, rebound and outlet the ball
  to our point guard is the key to our fast break
  system. We run a numbered sideline break where
  each player is assigned a lane to run and the
  point guard must find the open man in the break.
• GET THE BALL INSIDE- We want to get high
  percentage shots in the paint. We believe in the
  3-point mentality when the ball gets inside. We
  can pass inside to our post player or we can
  dribble into the paint and get to the rim. Either
  way puts a lot of pressure on the defense and
  will force three point opportunities by
  converting the shot and getting fouled and making
  the free throw.
• DRIVE AND KICK THREES- We like to spread four
  players on the perimeter so if we do penetrate,
  then we allow our players to spot up and get
  kick-out passes for three point shots.
• 2ND CHANCE SHOTS- This is a big part of our
  offensive system. Considering that 60 of shots
  or more are missed, this is a great opportunity
  to get easy baskets by putting our players into
  position to get offensive rebound put-back shots.
  CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE WON FROM OFFENSIVE REBOUND
  PUT-BACK MAKES.
