If you want a relatively simple way to get your players to play hard all season long and dominate the offensive boards...

Then listen to 4x Illinois Coach of the Year Rob Brost explain why he "charts effort, not outcomes"... and examples of how to track it!

That's right...

Instead of focusing on points, rebounds, assists, etc... Coach Brost charts "effort."

On top of that... he'll often distribute playing-time according to how many "effort points" players earn.

Why does he do this?

Because by instilling the habits of hard work and high intensity early in the year... he's been able to get his players to give maximum effort throughout the year...

And by charting and improving effort, this leads to better transition offense, transition defense, and rebounding!

So, what exactly does he chart?

Two things...

1) Whether a player beats their man (or the man guarding them) past half-court in transition... a concept he calls "win your race."

He sets goals for players to win a certain percentage of races.

2) Does the 3, 4, and 5 go for an offensive rebound on every play... if yes, they'll get a "+"... if no, they'll get a "-"
