Inside the Episode
We headed to France on the podcast this week where we had the pleasure of diving into a ton of great topics with Vichy Clermont Head Coach, Guillaume Vizade! Coach Vizade lays out great nuggets of wisdom and teaching points on:
- Limiting PNR Turnovers: We started the conversation with Coach Vizade’s thoughts on building the fundamentals of a great PNR team, and specifically, how he thinks about limiting turnovers. In this conversation we discuss spacing, role clarification, reads, moving North-South to East-West, and much more. Terrific thoughts throughout.
- Offensive Rebounding Tactics: During the “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” segment we heard Coach Vizade’s ideas on offensive rebounding and where and when he prefers to send players to the glass. His club is one of the best in France’s Pro B division this year when it comes to offensive rebounding, and his thoughts on the “corner crash” and much more are worth the listen.
- Growing Young Talent: Coach Vizade and his club are known for their ability to turn young, talented players into great pros, and we had fun hearing how he thinks about developing these players as they mature. We walk through meaningful playing time, surrounding them with other good players, and more.
