A little Accountability can go a long way!!

Just “I got you coach”, “I will do better”.. Can go a long way in a coaches eyes. The classic “my bad” ain’t good enough.

Look your coaches (and teammates) in the eyes.. Play with your head up.. Encourage your teammates.. All of these things go a long way in people wanting to be around you as a player and as a person.

Don’t be this 🏀 players!!

Nobody wants to coach a knucklehead!!

No matter how good you are or think you are. Being a good person, player, and teammate will get you further. Nobody wants to convince you to do the right things in order to save their jobs. Coaches will bet on the better person most of the time, unless you are top 100.. BUT sometimes even then, it’s not worth the headache

Most really good basketball players have really good character.
YOUR discipline, YOUR routine, YOUR approach to life on and off the court will define your level of success with both.

YOU have to want it!!🏀 YOU have to be OBSESSED

Most kids just don’t want it bad enough. To fight through adversity, to step out of their comfort zones, to continue to challenge themselves over and over again.. If YOU can develop that mindset, YOU are already setting yourself apart from the competition. The rest will take care of itself

YOU gotta be OBSESSED!!! With being the best basketball player YOU can be.. You cant just casually go about this hoop life and think you are going to get opportunities that you haven’t worked for.

The work, or lack there of will show eventually.

YOUR Mentality bag needs to be just as deep as your bag on the court.

What type of player are YOU when things aren’t going well? When you are being overlooked? When you don’t know when or where your next opportunity will come from? Or when everything is going great?

Will YOU stay the course?

Basketball won’t always be “Fun”

In fact, it rarely is. Unless YOU just LOVE THE GAME.. The sacrifices, dedication, challenges won’t be fun. They will text your “Why”. They will push you beyond your comfort zones.

YOU have to be determined to keep going and keep getting better if YOU really want to succeed in this game.
