Reminder for all of our girls spread out across the US playing this weekend: Great players don't run away from challenging environments, they embrace them & use them to grow as a player & as a person. Always embrace competition. Everything else will take care of itself. 📈🏀

THIS! Most coaches aren’t looking for a reason to recruit you. They are looking for reasons why they shouldn’t. Take care of your mind AND body! #MentallyTough #PhysicallyPrepared

Boost offensive efficiency by mastering .5 decisions, maximizing second-side actions (pindowns, flare screens), & creating advantages off trigger actions (ball screens, DHOs, rejects). Prioritize paint touches, force rotations, & hunt high-value shots: rim, FT line, corner 3s.

Too many players are losing valuable time worrying about a future that isn’t promised. What matters is who you are right now. No one gets better someday — they get better today. One choice, one rep, one habit at a time. The future is uncertain. Today is all you can control! 😤🏀

Another great day in the gym! Finished with an elite 3x3 session — spacing, cutting, decision-making, and advantage play. Giving kids the freedom to hoop, get real reps, and build instincts they don’t develop getting stuck in a box during AAU weekends. Love seeing them grow. 🏀

Bragging about blowing teams out by 30-40 in AAU in April is crazy. 😂 You’re paying to beat bad teams and calling it "development." News flash: your kid’s not getting better — they’re getting worse. Save the trophies. Go find smoke or stop pretending you’re about this life.

Hooping well doesn’t excuse bad body language, selfishness, etc. Multiple college coaches/scouts hit me this week asking what’s up with certain players. Be a great teammates, control your emotions, & lead with effort & energy. Talent opens the door, but character gets you in. 💯

The most successful people aren’t the ones who are always motivated. They’re the ones who show up even when they don’t feel like it. Yes, talent matters.. but persistence and consistency are what separate good from great. The best keep going. They know every rep counts. #TMC🏁

Great training starts with great procedures. Without structure, you’re guessing. Players need clear, detailed information that guides their development—not just drills, but why and how to do them. Build systems. Track progress. Stay committed daily. That’s how growth happens. 📈

There’s a saying in college & the NBA: Great information wins. Coaches & scouts aren’t making decisions based on social media. They’re calling trainers, coaches, teachers, teammates. They want truth, not hype. Stop stressing over what’s written online—no one who matters cares.💯
