PLAYERS: The day your season ends is the day you start developing your role for next season.
You have from now until the first practice (7 months) to develop, transform your game, and ultimately, get better so you can help your team WIN! You earn your minutes/role NOW!
PLAYERS: If the Final Four games have taught you anything it should have shown you the value in being able to:
1) Defend/rebound
2) Pass/move the ball
3) Make shots
Those three things, perhaps in that order, are the most important attributes for championship level players.
PLAYERS: This shot won the NAIA Division I National Championship this year. Notice a few things:
1) Floor spacing
2) All four without the ball are showing their hands and “shot ready”
3) Unselfishness of the star player to pass
4) Titanic music https://t.co/ZhvC7aFnUC
BIG MEN: Don’t ever neglect your post work but develop your perimeter skills too.
Perhaps you’ll hedge a ball screen, force a steal, receive a pass advance & finish with a reverse, inside-hand layup.
Work on EVERYTHING. You should be the most well-rounded player on the court. https://t.co/bb49ztSkKH
