​The CMC Practice System with Kevin Furtado​

​
​

Good coaches know the universal coaching truth - games are won in practices!

As a coach, what sets your practices apart from others? Because we all have…

• Limited practices
• Limited practice time

So what do you do better or different from the rest?

If you're simply following the same old playbook, why should your team beat the competition?

The key lies in how you use that time and maximize those limited hours to separate yourself from the average coach!

And Coach Kevin Furtado will teach you how to get more out of every single drill than you ever thought possible!

Meet A Practice Guru - Coach Furtado

​

With over 35+ years of experience, Coach Kevin Furtado has always considered himself a learner above all else.

He’s spent decades studying, borrowing, and adapting the best practice ideas from top coaches across the country.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, he refined it—creating one of the most efficient and impactful practice structures out there.

This approach has allowed him to step into any program and make an immediate, measurable impact, all thanks to his mastery of practice organization and structure.

With his CMC Practice System, you don’t don’t just rely on talent -- you motivate and challenge your players to excel.

Take a look at what Coach Furtado’s system has achieved.

• 495 wins (and counting)
• 8 Elite 8 appearances
• 3 Final 4 appearances
• 13 Coach Of The Year Awards

And everywhere he goes, turnarounds seem to follow….

• Commerce HS went from 6-19 to 16-11 in year 1 with Coach Furtado.
• Walnut Grove HS never had a winning season and then went 18-11 in year 1 with Coach Furtado.
• Lake Oconee HS never had a basketball program and within 5 years Coach Furtado let them to a 25-1 record... and a Regional Title with Coach Furtado.

Practice Secrets Revealed

So whether you are a youth coach, professional coach, or somewhere in between, you are bound to pick up something from Coach Furtado helping you get more out of your practices!

Do you want to make practices more competitive?

Coach Furtado teaches you how to…

• Create Competition & Accountability - Use a time or scoring element on every drill to push players, simulate pressure and boost performance under stress. From the moment players step on the court, every drill is a chance to compete
• Kickstart Practice with Toughness - Toughness drills at the start of practice set the tone, getting players focused and ready to outwork the competition.
• Develop Clutch Free Throw Shooters - Every drill ends with a winner, but they must validate their win by hitting a pressure free throw, building confidence for game-time situations.
• Create a Winning Mentality - No ties—every drill has a winner and a loser. Ties must be broken to foster a winning mindset.

Charting Excellence: Track What Really Matters

You will learn how to use 2 charts during practices and games to get the most out of your players.

1. Wins Chart
2. All drills in practice should have wins. From simple skill drills, to team drills, these are charted daily. An award (Wins Belt) is handed out at the end of each practice to the player with the most Wins.
3. Not only does this make drills more competitive, but it also motivates players!
4. Effort Chart
5. Effort can be controlled by players. So if you want great effort, chart what you are looking for from players. Hustle plays, taking charges, communication, coaching up others etc. An award (Oar) is handed out at the end of practice to the player with the most effort points!
6. Learn how to chart whatever key areas of Effort you emphasize with your team!

Unlock Peak Performance: The Magic of Overloading Drills

Coaches are always looking for an edge, and one simple "trick" to get more from every drill is overloading. Overloading maximizes the impact of each practice by focusing on multiple areas of development at once.

Coach Furtado teaches you how to overload drills with multiple Winning Attributes such as:

• Mental toughness
• Physical toughness
• Leadership
• Effort/work ethic
• Competitiveness
• Communication

…into every drill!

For example, in a defensive shell drill, maybe you’re focusing on basketball skills (closeouts, boxing out), but you can also focus on other Winning Attributes such as…

• Leadership (assign players to be CEO’s of practice each day! They can communicate with teammates at timeouts and help organize drills.)
• Emphasize mental toughness (maybe call a phantom foul or have players validate the wins)
• Emphasize effort/work ethic (charting hustle plays and reward the hardest working players at the end of each practice….based on actual points awarded)

By adding these 3 layers, you are now emphasizing a lot more than just basketball skills in this drill.

Coach Furtado is a master at overloading drills to make sure each drill has multiple Winning Attributes being emphasized.

Here's What A Couple Coaches Are Saying About Coach Furtado's Practice System

Coach Furtado is the best! I've been coaching for over 30 years and like to think I'm a pretty good coach, but I was shocked with how much I learned from Coach Furtado.

From making my practices more competitive, to creating a positive culture, as well as great ways to help motivate young players today, I know I will be a better coach moving forward.

And I picked up some new drills that I will be incorporating into my high school practices along with sharing with my feeder programs!

Thanks Coach Furtado!

- Jason S. Salt Lake City, UT

Sometimes there are coaches that come along and show you just how much you don't know and Coach Furtado is one of them.

I know for a fact that my practices will be much improved starting now!

Loved the product, thanks for taking the time to help all coaches get better.
