As an educator and coach, Kevin Sutton is a believer in organization. Organization helps a coach maximize his ability to educate. A successful program runs in four cycles: Pre-season, In-season, spring season and summer season - but all are rooted in a successful foundation from the pre-season. Goals for the season are broken down into important areas of the pre-season. The number one priority is to establish a champion's work ethic. The weekly schedule is crucial to maintaining daily consistency for all players in the program. Components of each week are academics, strength training, and basketball. Competition on the floor involves fall league games to adjust to the system and coaching staff. Sutton's approach with this pre-season program is to infuse a championship mentality through work, responsibility and consistency. With those things in place, success is around the corner!
