If you hold people accountable they typically do not like you...until time passes by and they realize that when you held them accountable it meant that you knew they were capable of more. It was actually a COMPLIMENT. Then they become thankful to have had you in their life.

Too many kids have been taught that the goal of HS sports is to achieve an ATHLETIC scholarship - here’s the truth: the goal of HS sports is to learn how to be a better person, better teammate, better communicator & to enjoy being a teenager...something you can’t get back.

Winners understand winning is an all the time thing. They want to win every rep, every practice. Every possession, every game. Winners want to win everything. They’re never okay with losing. Period.

Successful players: 1-wake up early 2-eat well 3-work on game 4-work on body 5-do their homework 6-go to bed early They do these EVERYDAY!

What every basketball player can do regardless of talent/ability: *Box out *Take charges *Eat healthy *Show up early *Run the floor *Communicate *Work hard every day *Dive for loose balls *Be a great teammate *Give maximum effort *Put in work outside of practice Craig Doty

Michael Jordan on Practice 💯 “𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 — 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫.”

Talent is something you’re born with. Skill is something you develop. Effort is something you choose.

Coaches, in workouts we have to get these players OUT of their COMFORT ZONE if the goal is to learn and master a new skill level. Failure is success, if they adjust learn and improve . Loose the ball,miss the shot, fall down ,mess up,feel/embrace pain. Thats what the journey IS!

Toughness isn't ignoring your coach, showing up when you want or working when you feel like it. Its bringing what it takes to WIN on a daily basis.

Great players have a high "care factor". They care about guarding their man. They care about helping their teammates. They care about doing what they are asked to do.

A player's willingness to take a charge is directly correlated to his investment in the team.

Point guards dribbling their teammates out of OPEN SHOTS then throwing it to them when they aren't open so they can ask for ball right back to "run something" I'm seeing this ALOT and it's disturbing.

GREAT defenders: 🏀Never take a play off 🏀Have a 'shut down' mentality 🏀Never allow middle 🏀Always between man & rim 🏀Don't commit dumb fouls 🏀Bump cutters 🏀Help & help the helper 🏀Work until possession is over
