PLAYERS: The “SWAG” of player development: S-hooting W-eak hand development A-cceleration & strength development G-ame speed reps
Great shooters aren’t born. They are made with thousands of hours of work! If you don’t put the time in, your percentages will reflect that!
“Tough players play so hard that their coaches have to take them out to rest. The toughest players don’t pace themselves” – @JayBilas
PLAYERS: Now is not the time to complain about your role. Starter/back-up/non-rotational, varsity/JV, that is determined in the off-season.
Ways #NotToBeRecruited: Play for the name on the back of your jersey rather than the name on the front
Ways #NotToBeRecruited: Pouting or showing lousy body language on the bench because you are not playing
Ways #ToBeRecruited: Represent yourself positively on all forums – On the floor, in the classroom & community, and on social media.
Ways #ToBeRecruited: Have a “motor” that never stops. College coaches recruit talented players who can “go” every possession!
PLAYERS: Don’t beat yourself up about the last play. Stay mentally strong, acknowledge what happened, and dominate the next possession.
