- Man this looks like a guy that hates his players.
- ATTENTION PARENTS: I was coaching 3rd graders today when a kid came to the bench & asked me if I could "make his dad go home." Whatever your intent, feedback during a game is NEVER the key to motivating your child. They need to know: 1. You love them 2. You are proud of them
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: No college coach expects you to play well every game. As a matter of fact, most colleges WANT to see you on an off-day so that they know what they’re getting when things don’t go your way. 🗣Allow yourself to be human. Today is a new day.
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Some perspective on D3 basketball...I had my fully sponsored 17U team play in the local D3 summer league a few years ago: Our roster: 1 high majors 2 mid majors 1 low major 2 D1 JC 2 D2s 1 Partial D2 We went 1-7 When you get to that level, hoops is hoops.
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Between flights, car rentals, hotels, entry fees, gas, and food, it costed a group of people time and money that they didn't have to spend so that you could pursue your dreams this weekend. Those people are fueled by your gratitude. Take time to THANK THEM.
- 🗣Attention Prospects: You can’t bring high school credentials to a college with you. Captain All-Conference All-Metro All-State All-American Scholarships Rankings Articles ...everyone had em’ Walk into a college gym with what you had before you got there & you’ll get torn up.
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Very soon... The sprints you run aren't sprints, they're deadlines. The weights you lift aren't weights, they're bills. Your teammates aren't teammates, they're a family. 🗣Your future is calling. When the 🏀 stops bouncing, are you ready to answer?
- Attended a couple of AAU tryouts the past 2 days. Here's the deal: 1. The fastest way to stand out is TALKING really loud all the time. 2. In scrimmages, if you have any type of athleticism, pick up full court. 3. Legitimately celebrate the success of others. It looks good.
- ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL HOOPERS: On average, by the time you graduate high school, you will have spent 80% of the time you will spend with your parents in your life. Cherish every car ride, day in the gym, and post game meal 🏀🙌
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Skills required to thrive at any level: Rip Right/Left Jab Right/Left 1 Dribble Pull Up Floater Catch & Shoot Right/Left Hook Post Counter (up & under or reverse pivot) Materials required: 🎾 = 0 Chairs = 0 Cones = 0 📹 = 0 📱 = 0 🏀 = 1 🗣KEEP IT SIMPLE
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Playing at a mid-major is better than sitting at a high major… Playing at a D2 is better than sitting at a D1… Playing at a D3 is better than sitting as a partial or non-scholarship D2… 🗣…playing is better than sitting, regardless of level.
- ATTENTION PROSPECTS: Watch this any time you feel like you're gaining ground on your competition.
