Floater 💧U.S. Basketball Games #usbasketballgames Halftime Sports

Basketball (Cont) Talk everything! Communicate your cuts, screens, defensive assignments etc. Is this hard to do when learning on the fly? YES! But that’s the expectation! Communicating let’s people know you’re learning/retaining information! It’ll earn coaches & player trust!

Cont. You may think you “play hard”… lmao YOU DONT! Your body is going to HURT ALOT (remember I said freshman need sleep). You’re going to be asked to run harder/faster than you think you can. You’re gonna get hit on every cut, drive, screen! Playing hard HURTS! Be Ready!

You will have a ROLE! Championship teams don’t win with freshman! They win with veteran players who are older and experienced! However freshman play a vital role! Your job will be to make practice as competitive as possible! To provide energy/effort if your number is called!

Mental Toughness! Freshman ride the roller coaster! There will be days you think coach hates you. You can’t cough or fart right in practice lol. Everything you do is wrong or not hard enough or good enough. Just RELAX! Concentrate on 1 detail coach is teaching and perfect it!

ASK QUESTIONS! Don’t always have an “answer” respond to coaching with a question…how can I do this better? Am I not spaced correctly? Is this the right gap? How should I close out? What’s my read? Saying “I know I know” when you’re being instructed pisses coaches off😡😡😡

Lastly! I’ll do a space on this thread it’s so much! But lastly Never forget YOUR WHY! Why are you there? And why are you playing college basketball? What drives you? I pray getting your degree is part of the why! But remember your why will get you through those hard days!

I want to help as many kids as possible achieve their dreams of being recruited to play at the next level. This is for boys or girls. 🏀 This event will be FREE to attend. Please share with anyone you think would be interested. Sign up at the link below. form.jotform.com/222298208515053

Oklahoma had a great time with great competition. Will definitely be back in 2023 stranger and better at all levels. #USBASKETBALLGAMES

This will go over a lot of peoples heads.

When college coaches come an watch you practice/play, they shouldn’t have to ask which one you are! Your game, demeanor, & enthusiasm should stand out!!!!

He said a mouthful

Oklahoma will be sending teams to represent at the 2023 U.S. Basketball Games in Atlanta, Georgia. We will have teams for boys and girls. Keep an eye out for tryout information.

Something you don't see every day. An assistant coach on a JV girls basketball team impersonated a 13-year-old player on the team in a game. The coach is no longer an employee of the Portsmouth School District. WAVY TV 10 More information:
