Athletes: Please don’t get discouraged when you see others posting offers and you feel like yours aren’t coming in. Keep working. What’s meant for you, will be for you. Don’t start playing panicked, thinking you need to go into turbo mode. That will not help!

🗣Basketball Coaches or Recruiting Staff at any level: Let’s start a thread with advice on what you feel is important when looking at the bench during games. I’ll start first. 1)When your teammates come off the floor do you show them love?

College coaches texting or calling me after 10PM is not professional. Please use boundaries when contacting me especially if trying to speak on business. Quickest way to not get a response.

Excited to be the new Director of Basketball Operations and Program Development for the Girls side of Team Takeover. First time in 15 years I am not coaching at school or AAU, but I am ecstatic and ready to go! Thanks
@TeamTakeoverGBB

I can’t stress enough the importance of parent/family behavior during games. Almost every conversation I have had with coaches, the question about how is their family/parents comes up. Don’t be the reason your child doesn’t get recruited!

Athletes if you have not already make sure you tell your support system (family, coaches or whoever is in your life) THANK YOU. July alone is very expensive! Between funds, time off and adjustments being made for them to support you is a lot.

It’s nothing wrong with being your child’s biggest fan and cheerleader but speaking on other players abilities and being nasty about it, is a no no! No class!

I really hate coming on here and seeing circuit/ basketball hate. Everything isn’t for everybody and that’s ok. Find what works for you and do you. If you have to talk down on another program/circuit to get your point across, that says it all.

This weekend was my first time running an event as an event coordinator and not as a coach. I’m so hard on myself, but I think I did - heck of a good job. I’ve had many talks with God about my purpose and passion and I think I have finally found my lane.

I just got stopped in the store by a parent asking me why I cut her son...I told her I was not coaching this year so she had me mistaken. She said “you cut him 8 years ago” 😂 Ma’am if you don’t eat some chocolate & edible arrangements on this lovely day 😩 I can’t make this up.
