"It's a simple idea to live life by. If you are going to do something, do it to the best of your ability. No matter what it is." Average athletes go to practice to get it complete. Elite athletes go to practice to compete. One is just clocking in, the other is locking in.

Love this!
RESPONDING TO MISTAKES "I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that. Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

It’s called “snowplow” parenting. When parents plow a path in front of their child so they do not have to face adversity or failure. It’s a recipe for disaster. 💥

"I don't think our kids know how to fail today. They don't know how to struggle. We, the parents, have bailed them out of everything. Failure is good sometimes. Failure brings about an internal drive."

WHAT A TRUE TEAM IS LIKE “We have the ability to play hard. We have the ability to play together. That’s the beauty of basketball. The sum can be better than the parts.” (Matt Painter)

COACHES: Just because we have "good kids" doesn't mean our team's leadership is strong. "Good kids" still need to be trained, equipped, taught, and shown how to use their qualities to impact the team and their teammates. We can't assume our kids know how to be positive leaders.
