To have a great basketball team, every player must give up personal glory and accept their role on the team.

Coaches how would you handle a player like Jimmy Butler?

True! But it wasn’t the NBA… a couple teammates went on to play in Europe.
True or False: Someone from your high school became a professional athlete.

I’d be lying if I’ve never promised PT to kids. I learned quickly that just leads to poor work ethic! Earning PT promotes the mindset that you have to work hard each and every practice and opportunity in game! That’s why I’ll never promise substantial PT to anyone now! 🎯💯

If you don’t practice right. You don’t play right. If you don’t prepare right. You don’t play right. If you don’t warm up right. You don’t play right. If you don’t play right. You can usually start with yourself. You can’t control how you play. You can control YOU !!

I’ve had college coaches ask me about players commitment level — and they specifically asked “Is he the type to miss tournaments for prom?”. Just something to think about. Your family might not understand if they aren’t sports ppl. But this is a cutthroat business.

Individuals get better before and after practice. Teams get better during practice.

AAU programs biggest recruiting pitch is the testimonies of other families. That’s why no matter how much of a business this is, it can never be bigger than the people. Treat people right, establish and maintain a strong culture and everything else is a breeze.

Your bench is the ultimate culture check. Amateurs pout on the bench because they only care about personal glory. Pros can’t sit still. They’re too busy celebrating their teammates with genuine joy and excitement. Is your bench bringing the energy or draining it?

I say this with the utmost sincerity and directness….. If you’re an adult that has to tear down another kid in an attempt to make your kid look better…..you are trash! Have a good day.

The narrative the world has caught up to 🇺🇸 is insane… The depth of the US teams are far superior to the rest of the field! Most teams have maybe 1 or 2 NBA players, meanwhile there are 15 NBA All Stars on the roster!

This right here is everything wrong with youth sports! This mentality is childish! Because he didn’t play he should turn down his next opportunity? They won the game! People today don’t understand how to fight adversity! They just give up! Complete lack of competitiveness!
Tatum shouldn’t play in 28. Should turn it down

For ever LeBron made there are 100s of Jrue Holidays! Understand that not everyone has the ability to be a superstar! But you can all be a star in your role! Find your niche and master the hell out of it!

Ok so I guess it’s been deemed that specific shots are “bad shots” because of a .02% shooting percentage difference! What are we doing? This is exactly what people mean when they are saying analytics ruin the game!
