“The game of basketball always finds a way to reward toughness.”
PLAYERS: You are winning and losing games next season by what you accomplish TODAY! Teams and players are made in the off-season! #OutWork
PLAYERS: Read this DAILY!
What you do from now until your first practice this fall will determine your playing time & role on your team.
POINT GUARDS: Extend outlet passes as far as possible without creating potential turnovers. The longer the outlet, the better the fast-break
You can be a good player by liking the game. If you want to be the best, you have to love it. If you don’t-that’s ok, but live w/the results
PLAYERS: Does your relationship with your coach and your attitude towards your team depend upon the amount of playing time you’re getting?
PLAYERS: You only have to do a few things great so long as you don’t do too many things wrong. Coaches play low risk players who are tough.
PLAYERS: When you get taken out of the game does your body language & attitude ENCOURAGE or DISCOURAGE your coach to put you back in?
PLAYERS: Do you value film and on floor scout sessions? Your coaching staff put in hours of work to help prepare the team. Be focused!
PLAYERS: Starter? Backup? Not playing?..If you’re not playing the role you want perhaps you didn’t put in the right kind of work last summer
