Charlie Miller — Master Basketball Coach, McDonald’s All-American, Indiana University and Professional Player on Teaching Young Athletes to Find Their "Bright Spots"

In episode 3, I had a fantastic conversation with Charlie Miller, a master basketball coach, author, and owner of ATTACK Basketball Academy in the Dallas, Texas area.

In his playing career, Charlie was a McDonald’s All-American and Florida’s Gatorade Player of the Year at South Miami High School, played at Indiana University and in the Junior Olympics, and played professionally in Europe and the US. 

As a coach, he began by training hundreds of players individually and on teams, founded ATTACK Basketball Academy in 2009, and has been a head coach with Breakthrough Basketball.

Our discussion covers a lot, including:
  • What Charlie learned from the coaches you played for and how he developed a process over outcomes approach
  • Coaching the whole player
  • Harnessing the power of the mind to enhance performance on the court.
  • How can coaches integrate mental toughness development, and lessons learned from personal coaching experiences to create tailored training strategies for young athletes?
  • Tailored strategies to bring out the best in young athletes.
  • “Find your bright spots.”
  • It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you have
