What does it feel like to prepare for an NBA game? In this flexible tutor group session watch our film to get inside the head of an NBA or WNBA player and discuss the importance of mental preparation in basketball and beyond. This discussion-based resource uses key questions to build students' higher-order thinking skills and consider how they might prepare for a high-pressure event.
