Hosted by Coach Kevin Roberts (3on3 Live) and Coach J (ScoreHoops 3on3), this podcast explores how small-sided basketball is transforming the game from the ground up. We break down why 3on3 basketball is such a powerful tool for player growth — building basketball IQ, confidence, and leadership faster than traditional formats.

How to Handle Parents, Playing Time, and Player Motivation | Coaches Q&A (Part 2)
In this continuation of our Coaches Q&A series, Kevin Roberts and Coach J dig into the questions every coach eventually faces but rarely talks about openly:
- How do I keep growing without a mentor?
- How do I get my players to play more aggressively?
- How do I balance development and winning?
- How do I keep players motivated when minutes aren’t equal?
- And how do I deal with parents who think their kid should play more?
It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about building awareness, composure, and connection. This episode is packed with real experiences, humor, and insight from two coaches who’ve lived it on every level.
