JUNIOR COACH KOBE

by swans05, posted in Training/Coaching Articles

In my original tribute Facebook post to Kobe I touched on what he was doing in the coaching of junior players and really believe he would have changed how junior coaching is done with what he was doing and how he was doing it. It wasn’t really anything new but for someone as competitive as...
