Pat Summitt Basketball
By Pat Summitt
One reason Pat is a good leader is that not only is she trying to lead others, she is also serving as a leader to herself.
She continually evaluates her own strengths and weaknesses; “When you identify your weaknesses, you can begin to remedy them – or at least figure out how to work around them.” (
Reach for the Summit).
By continually setting new professional goals, she has been able to stay on top of her coaching game for so many years.
Pat is not willing to settle for the here and now.
She is one who constantly is trying to better herself and those around her.
By having a solid base on which to form her team, she has been able to redefine women’s basketball, blowing through the glass ceiling.
Pat Summitt's Mastering Special Situations
Pat Summitt's winning program at Tennessee is model for all sports teams. In this basketball DVD, Coach Summitt will explore insights on handling special situations. Also included are pressure, press break, zone offense, attacking junk defenses and late game situations.
Handling pressure applies to situations on and off the floor. Offensive execution is important when facing a myriad of situations from your opponent.
The initial choices are to quickly in bound the ball or set up to attack the press. "Special" is a play that releases the screener down the floor and throw the ball long. When ahead, Coach Summitt shows a play to get the ball in bounds successfully. The box press attack contains many features and alignments to beat full court pressure.
Summitt shows specifically how to beat the 1-2-1-1 press with the box press attack. Two difficult defenses to attack are the triangle and two and box and 1. In a 1-4 set, Summitt demonstrates how to defeat these junk defenses. In addition, Summitt shows several strategies to win games with a baseline out of bounds play and a set with 15 seconds left.

Pat Summitt's Building a Championship Team with the Definite Dozen
Pat Summitt has established one of the greatest programs in the history of the game.
She shares how to build a championship basketball team with her "Definite Dozen," a guideline for on and off the court character traits.
A beginning coach is not provided with an instruction book for coaching.
Coach Summitt believes that your instruction book comes directly from your system. Respect is another cornerstone of the system.
Responsibility is all about team - that is, knowing your job and the job of everyone else on your team.
Good coaches exhibit good listening and communication skills to relate to players and coaches. Communication on and off the floor is crucial.

Pat Summitt's Game Preparation
Legendary coach Pat Summitt brings a well prepared team to the floor every game. Her ability to get her team ready to play hard and execute is one of her many talents. Players must be informed about their opponent but not overwhelmed with information.
The first item for players to lock into is the opponent's personnel. Knowing the offensive attack of the opponent includes their transition, primary man offense, sets, zone sets and out of bounds plays.
On the floor, Coach Summitt's plan is to work on shooting drills, pressure releases, shell offense and defensive breakdown. The scouting report examines every defensive situation that could occur.
Each player must know exactly what is expected in these situations. At the end of the shoot around, players will defend the opponent's out of bounds plays. During practice much of the activity is the same.
On this DVD you will see practice drills such as; Post feeds, pressure releases, post double team, beating pressure with various cuts, shell offense featuring set plays, game shooting, free throws, defensive breakdown, post dive, main offense, baseline and sideline out of bounds.

Pat Summitt's Defensive Scouting Report
Coach Summitt offers a unique look at pre-game preparation during a practice session with the Lady Vols. This presentation begins with offensive breakdown drills early in the practice. A variety of shots will be taken during several shooting drills. Defending the dribble drive is crucial for good man-to-man defense.
Summitt feels this is the most difficult thing in team defense. This segment of practice includes many different drills. These drills include the close out, one-on-one defense, 2-on-2 defense, 3-on-3 defense, defensive rotation, turn defense and keeping out of middle.
To emphasize the importance of defense, Summitt always makes a goal for the defenders in practice drills. Three consecutive box outs and defensive stops are the goal for the defensive half court drill.
Shelling offensive sets come next in the practice plan. This will give coaches the opportunity to teach sets as they play. Added to this drill is defensive transition after a shot is taken 5-0. The next step is to play 5-on-5 with defensive transition.
Putting things together, the next segment is scrimmaging against the zone defense. The workout ends with a shooting drill mixed with conditioning. Game footage shows Summitt's team executing the defensive game plan.

Praises for Pat Summitt Basketball By Pat Summitt
What Makes an Effective Leader
I have recently been introduced to an arena of leaders I had never before considered, sports. Our society places such a high level of focus on sports beginning with little league, high school, college, professional, and up to the Olympics. These athletes continue to grow and constantly strive to be better. When goals are achieved, they take the time to reflect on their accomplishments and proceed in setting new goals.
In the background, these athletes have somebody who is constantly pushing and encouraging them not to be satisfied with where they are; their coach. Pat Summitt is the Head Coach for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team and has been said to be the “all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history men or women”.
She has been the Head Coach of the Lady Vols for 31 seasons and has run the gambit as far as wins and losses. Her focus is not necessarily on winning, but on making sure her players are giving their all and reaching their potential because when that happens, the win is to follow. Often times her methods are looked upon as being insensitive and animated, however Pat is a firm believer in work hard, play hard.
Throughout her career, Pat has been asked what her formula is for her unbelievable success. She has developed a set of rules she expects all her players to know and live by; The Definite Dozen. The Definite Dozen is more less a “set of commandments” (Reach for the Summit). The Definite Dozen gives the Lady Vols their foundation upon which they build their team. Without a foundation in which to build upon, at any moment the structure could collapse and you would have to build all over again. One of these mentioned principles can not exist without the other.
About The Definite Dozen
Respect Yourself and Others is the first of the Definite Dozen. Respect is something that is earned and in order to receive it, you must give it; even to yourself. Before others can respect you, you must first respect yourself. Earning others respect is difficult, but if you have confidence in your abilities and give it your all at all times, others will begin to respect you. If Pat feels that somebody on the team is disrespecting her, she will call the player on it because in order for the team to succeed, they must trust and respect Pat’s calls.
Take Full Responsibility is an important part of any interaction, regardless if it is individual or team related. Inevitably we all make mistakes and there comes a time where we have to pay the price, humbling as it may be. The ability to take responsibility comes with maturity. One way in which Pat teaches responsibility is by establishing rules that all players must abide by during the season, and hold each player accountable.
Develop and Demonstrate Loyalty is a key component to the Lady Vols. Pat is honest in her comments regarding her staff saying that she hired them because they were better than in her those particular areas and trusts their judgment. Pat allows for her management team to discuss their ideas and entertains their opinions, even if they are contrary to her beliefs. When they come up with different ideas, she does not assume that they are disloyal; she understands everyone has different opinions. If there are any disagreements on the management team, it is done behind closed doors and when in front of the team, they are a unified front. This helps breed a positive culture in which to strive.
Lean to Be a Great Communicator appears to be one of Pat’s biggest sources of frustration. She believes that communicating both verbally and physically is as equally important on the court as it is off. Both during practice and games, Pat can be seen and heard yelling at her players. In order to perform at their best, there needs to be a constant flow of communication between the players and with the coach because if there is a lacking of it, opportunities are going to be missed. This is just as true in the business world as it is in team sports. If there is ambiguity, then the competition can come in and defeat you.
Discipline Yourself So No One Else Has To is the fifth in the Definite Dozen. “Discipline is the internal mechanism that self-motivates you” (Reach for the Summit). It is at the core of leadership. In order to be an effective leader, you yourself must be disciplined and lead by example. Nobody likes to be the bad guy but it is a necessary a function of a leader; letting the “team” know that there are consequences. Pat believes that disciple should be fair, firm, and consistent (Reach for the Summit). As Head Coach, she is sure to let each player know when they were not behaving appropriately and they in turn are reprimanded in front of the whole team, not only teaching them about their lack of discipline, but a little humility as well.
Make Hard Work Your Passion is a fundamental part of working towards a goal. Pat once said “I just can’t relate to people who don’t want to be at the top of their game everyday and [don’t] want to compete on every play.” (abcnews.com). If something is worth doing, it should be worth doing it right and it should be worth doing 100%. Trying to be your best is what should drive you, regardless of your field.
Don’t Just Work Hard, Work Smart refers not only to those doing physical work, but leaders as well. The best leaders are able to recognize their limitations and weaknesses and surround themselves with managers who are better than they are in those areas; by doing this the leader is able to focus on what they do best and allow others to do what they do best. Working smarter.
Put The Team Before Yourself is Pat’s way of saying one for all and all for one. In teamwork, it is important that you can rely on those around you and vice versa. It is more of an emotional state of mind and develops out of respect. If an individual is only out for themselves, they can not be relied upon during game time because it is not known whose interest they are thinking of first. “You win in life with people and if you think you can do this alone, you’re wrong.”
Make Winning an Attitude is as simple as it sounds. If you think you can and will win, chances are you will behave as such and in the end, you will. For business decisions and sports teams, attitude makes a difference. It is contagious and those around you can feel your confidence. “A lot of players come and go, but the great ones leave and other great ones arrive”.
Be a Competitor is saying that you need to out there to win it, no matter what it takes. Sometimes this works against the norm because competitors are not out there to make friends; they are out there to win. This builds on itself because the more a competitor wins, the more they want to win and the more driven they are to achieve that goal. This is never a boring state to be in, it is always in constant motion and leading to change, the next in line of the dozen.
Change Is a Must no matter what you are doing. As mentioned in the paragraph above, to be a better competitor than you were last time, you must be willing to analyze the environment and be willing to change things to catch the opponent of guard. If the rules never change, than sooner or later you will be defeated.
Handle Success Like You Handle Failure is saying that you learn equal amounts from both outcomes, although one feels better than the other. Without failure, you can never truly appreciate how good success feels. By learning what doesn’t work allows you to reexamine the game plan and make the necessary improvements in order to be successful next time.
Like most rules, the Definite Dozen circle back on each other, so to break one of the rules is breaking them all. In order to succeed, all the rules must be followed. These “commandments” are at the core of Pat’s leadership style and have become the culture of the Lady Vols. By using these rules as a foundation for the team, Pat believes that her believers become achievers.
Compassion and Leadership
Another key aspect that allows Pat to be an effective leader is her compassion for her players and the relationships she develops with each one off the court. By building a report, she can better understand the players, their goals, and what motivates them. Knowing each player individually helps in building trust and respect for her both personally and for her position. She prides herself on the “incredible graduation rate of her players and the success they have garnered in life...”. Each player at Tennessee has either received their degree or is in the process of obtaining it and Pat likens it to the fact that she instills discipline in each player.
Another reason Pat is a good leader is that not only is she trying to lead others, she is also serving as a leader to herself. She continually evaluates her own strengths and weaknesses; “When you identify your weaknesses, you can begin to remedy them – or at least figure out how to work around them.” (Reach for the Summit).
By continually setting new professional goals, she has been able to stay on top of her coaching game for so many years. Pat is not willing to settle for the here and now. She is one who constantly is trying to better herself and those around her. By having a solid base on which to form her team, she has been able to redefine women’s basketball, blowing through the glass ceiling.
Pat Summitt is “intense, demanding, focused . . . very caring” and yet also has a reputation for burning hot, being overly demanding, setting to many rigid rules, and acting irrational during games. Pat has broken all the rules of women as leaders and has been essential in redefining women’s basketball. “Long-term, repetitive success is a matter of building a principled system and sticking to it. Principles are anchors; without them you will drift.” (Reach for the Summit ). Because of her firm belief in her team, herself, and the Definite Dozen, Pat Summitt and the Lady Vols continue to rank in the top of women’s basketball.
