The Theory of Shoshin 👀

Shoshin is a Zen concept meaning "beginner's mind," characterized by openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions, regardless of one's experience level. In basketball, coaches and players can benefit from embracing this mindset to improve, foster creativity, and remain continuously adaptable. “A childlike joy in one’s craft.”
