Sports Shorts NWBA conducting needs assessment

Have you ever wondered how man y games the average NWBA team plays in a season Whether mos t teams are increas ing or decreasing the size of their rosters Or what kind of budget teams have and where their money comes from So has the NWBA But to date most information has been anecdotal ~ based on a few teams or conversations - there have been few true stati stics availab le

To be able to market our sport we need to know the answers to these questions and others when prospecti ve sponsors or partners ask

On the other hand - have you ever wonder where the NWBA is going Have you felt like your input and opinions are not heard or heeded Or wondered where your annual dues go

As Commissioner Kiley chalshylenged in the last issue of Balik Shots it wi ll take the effolls of all of our members to get our sport and our organization to the level where we all want to see it NOW is your 0ppollunity to get involved - and it s easy In order to estabshyli sh a profile of our organization

an NWBA Needs Assessment has been developed It is a short surshyvey that requests information and opinions from all NWBA teams

The Needs Assessment was mailed to all Team Representatives (those listed in the 94-95 season directory) in late-September We need your input Please take a few moments to complete the assessshyment It may take input from sevshyeral team members to get all the needed information but it is very impollant that we get back a camshypi eled survey from every team _ This is also an opportunity for you to rate the services provided by the NWBA and to help us prioritize needed services Results of th e survey wi ll be publ ished in future issues of Bank Shols and will be used by the Comm issioner and Executive Committee to promote our spall and plan for the future of our organization

Please take thi s opportunity to share your input and provide inforshymation If you haven t done it yet - return your survey TODAY

Ad hoc officials committee now in place

In one of his first actions as Commissioner Dave Kiley has appointed a new ad hoc committee The Officials Committee was

1994

developed to address the concerns long held by players coaches and officia ls alike that there is a need for consistency and continu ity in officiating in the NWBA Issues related to approbation (or certificashytion) training and continuing edushycation communication and develshyopment of an official s organization have been addressed at the confershyence and regional level in some areas but no consistent program exists within the NWBA

The Committee i s already underway and is producing a short (30 minute) training video to be titled Guidelines for Wheelchair Basketball Officials The video which will feature NWBA officials and players in demonstration situashytions will be available for distribushytion to NWBA teams by the fall of 1996

The Committee will also develshyop written guidelines for Officials Workshops to be conducted by teams or confere nces We are aware that several conferences in the NWBA presently conduct offishycia ls workshops and we are not attempting to replace those we are just going to offer gu idelines so that we are a ll working from the same book These guidel ines (See Sports Shorts Pg 5)

Theresa Florian Therapeuti c Recreati on Coordinator

bull bull bull Conference I have enjoyed my association with the -------_______________ ---- Lone Star Conference since 198 1 and feel it is now time to step aside and let someone else assume the responsibilities

The NWBA has had considerable change since its inception and I have been a pan of that change for the last 34 years I must tell you that in my opinion Ihe changes have been mixed The change that I find most di sturb ing is the lack of quality veteran players taking the time to develop teams in their own vicinishyties Because the fl ying in of players has been allowed or ignored for years many quality veteran players have sold themselves to the highest bidder in order to be on a champi onship team Now it has become a standard practice for championshi p teams to use weaker teams in their conference or surroundshying conferences as farm clubs with no thought of improving the overall quali ty of wheelchair basketshyball for everyone A feel ing of se lfishness and resentm ent has become apparent which if not addressed will be detrime ntal to the futun of the NWBA This has even been apparent in the Lone Star Confe rence

I wish you good luck as Commi ssioner and hope that you wi ll provide th e leadersh ip necessary to address Ihe problems and concerns of the teams in the bottom two thirds of the NWBA because they are the future

Do Not as

I do By Sean McCann PhD USOC Sport Science and Tech nology

Do you need to set goals to achieve excell ence Yes was the resounding answer unanimousshyly given by Olympic and nat ional team coaches at a recent hi gh pershyforma nce summ it The gene ra l conse nsus Wit hout knowi ng where yo u a re goi ng (towa rds excell ence) how can you possibly get there

In The Winner Within professhysional basketball coach Pat Ril ey descr ibes a met hod of track ing player behaviors and setti ng goals for athletes based on improvi ng specific behaviors The Los Angeles Lakers created a detai led reco rd of the spec ific behaviors used by the very best NBA playshyers Each Laker was measured on these same behaviors and ranked ve rsus t he ent i re league This process resulted in two of the Lakers s tarters ha ving caree r best seasons Riley poi nts to this goal-setti ng method as the key to c reat i ng t he first repeat NBA champion team in 19 years

It is clear tha t America s top coaches rely on goal-setting to cha ll enge athletes and help them focus on wi nni ng Effective goal-

bull

as I say setting can change ath letes behavshyior by maki ng trai ning more directshyed and ensuring con ti nuous prog ress toward the meda l pla tshyform

Goal -setting clearl y works well fo r a thl e tes b u t how we ll d o coaches practi ce what they preach when il comes to goal-setting Do you use goa l setting as a way 10

ac hieve exce ll ence as a coac h Are your goals for the season the same as the team s goa ls With the bottom line in sport focused on wi nning it is often easy to forget that coaches ca n and should have goals separate from the team s goals USOC sport psychologists have discovered that one charactershyistic which sets consistentl y excelshylent coaches apart from ave rage coaches is having personal goals

For many coaches the firs t hurshydl e in personal goa l-se tting is delenni ning how to measure sucshycessful coaching One way is to look at models in your fie ld Is there a truly great coach in you r sport W hat makes him her successful Clearly winni ng is an obv ious mea sure What criteria other than wi nshyning determi ne whether a coach is excell ent

Great coaches use winn ing onl y as a stamng point when it comes to pe rso nal goa l-selling They go beyond winning to develop a speshyci fi c set of personal action goals

Before setti ng personal acti on goals it is importa nt to establish an understand ing of exact ly what com peti tive exce ll ence mea ns to you as a coach and how you intend to achieve it To begin the goal-

As the ad hoc cOlllmiuee envisions it el igibility will be by applying to the Di vision 3 Committee and wi ll be s ubj ec t 10 final approval by the I WBA Commissioner Teams should be made up of loca l players from the sa me playing area wi th li mited resources Teams joi ning Di vision 3 should realize that Di vision 3 is primari ly for deve loping future playshye rs or teams th at eve ntual ) want to move into the o ther divisions Tht di visional structure will allow mul tiple teams in several different divisions to exist und er the 11mb re ll a o f a s ingle organiza ti on thus Itl crta si ng th e growth of that organ izat ion The pershyfeCI si tuation wou ld be an organi za ti on that develops

Di vision I 2 amp 3 teams and provides a system allowshying players to rotate up or down depending on their ski ll levels or comm itmen ts Thi s same organization could develop Junior and Women s teams thus creating a larger and more di verse group for fund-ra ising and cred ibility purposes in their communities

Division 3 should on ly have a regional playoff There should be at least eigh t regionals to reduce team travel and expense Elimi nating a national title will aide in policing teams that enter Di vision 3 with hopes of winning a national championship Conferences should begin developing into divisions whenever posshysible Our NWBA directory should be divided by di viSIOns to allowing teams to seek the level ofcompeshytition they desi re There should be a ranking system among the Di vision 3 teams to providing a gauge for teams to judge their deve lopment The poli ci ng of rosshyters shou ld be done by conference commissioners and most importantl y by the Di v is ion 3 teams The Di vision 3 Committee could be the cen tral review point for all protests with the committees recommenshydation being given to the NWBA Commissi oner for his decision

The Carolinas Conference which experimemed with Di visions I and 2 the lasl two seasons wi th much success has again exerci sed leadership by adding Divi sion 3 to its conference fo r thi s comi ng year The Carol inas Conference experienced the agony of a shrinking conference severa l years ago but because of their divisional stru cture it began expanding from a three team conference to II learns wi th two new teams al ready committed to join for the 996-97 season Th is year seven teams are in Division 3 and are very happy and coment with the arrangement Di visions 2 and 3 wi ll each have thei r own tournament and confershyence champi on This experimenta l d ivision is an option for other conferences to model

Di vision 3 cou ld be an important tool to allow the NW B A to increase its mem bersh ip and service to existing team members I encourage you 10 suppOrt the concept in Portland Oregon Please direct your comments o r additional views to Di v ision 3 Committee Chai rman Dick Bryant at 704-547-0176

FUNDRAI$ING us Pizza Co and Arkansas Rollin Razorbacks team to raise funds improve community awareness

The following is a suggested outline for a wheelchair basketba ll team 10 use fo r not only raising money but also making the public aware of you r program and developing fans

I PLAN OF ACTION

A) Locmion Find a local pizza company (restaushyrant ) that wi ll hold at least 100 people and is also accessible Convince the owner that you can help each other by having a private (S unday) pizza party fund raiser

B) Tic ket Sales Dec ide the price OUf [irst three parties we charged $2500 for two We now charge $3000 fo r two for all you can eat and drink for two hours (see copy of ticket) OU f goal is to earn $600000 in our 6th year In year onc we had a goal of $ 1 000 and raised 51 800

Team tundraising Learn or get left behind

As it current ly exists a major percentage of NWBA teams are under financed and have little or no identity in the community The NWBA must proshyvide a vehicle for these teams to utilize to correct that situation and that vehicle is through fundraising and heightened community awareness Each coming issue of Bank Shots will deal with some form of sucshycessful fundraising or improvement of communiry awareness by member teams or other groups or orgashynizations This issue focuses on a model community team program showcasing the three lime National Champion Arkansas Rolling Razorbacks of Little Rock

who buy tickets actually attend Some bring friends and we do sell tickets at the door We provide team players and sponsors with a complimentary ticket as well as members of the press

C) The Party We hold our party in early November of each year (season) on a Sunday evening (We try to avoid deer hllnting season you may have other confl icts to consider) As each person enters the
