I went to 10 small towns this past month for basketball camps and here are some of my take aways 🏀💭

👇👇👇

1. Although small towns have less resources - kids have a huge opportunity to outwork kids in other towns. Most kids are putting in the minimal amount of work it takes to play. You do more than others and you will stand out.

2. The best youth players are the ones who can handle the ball. They move better, can get to different spots on the floor and score more. This leads to more success which will lead to them wanting to play longer and work on other things.

3. The best HS players are the ones who can shoot. You can get away with a lot of skill gaps if you can shoot.

4. Ball handling in general is not worked on enough. Most HS players in small towns are below average when it comes to ball handling

5. There are a great coaches out there willing to give up their free time to help kids get better. Kids need to take advantage of this. Also most gyms have shooting machines - kids should also be taking advantage of this.

Summary: Take advantage of the resources you have. Outwork the competition and separate yourself. Become a great shooter while working on additional skills on the side.

In highschool, I never made 1st team all conference. My AAU coach would tell me that I am nothing but a street baller. My first college coach didn’t allow me to shoot when I would get in the game.. Today, I am playing in my first game as a professional basketball player.

As a coach, you rarely need to yell at your players to motivate them. Most of the time, positive reinforcement is all they need. By staying calm and positive, you can improve your players' performance and mental health.

@ChadELewis2 I was a little upset at the time but looking back I'm so glad I didn't miss my tournament. Following year, I made the the 18-1's. The other setter did not. Dedication will get you far in life.

[Avery Dempsey @Averyjayhawk16]

@ChadELewis2 I missed my junior year prom to play in a 3-day tournament at dallas texas. Best decision I could've made. Our other setter attended prom instead of going to the tournament. I finally got my chance to run a 5-1 and I played the best I ever had at that point.

What is the Cost of Leadership?

It costs $0 to say “hello.”
It costs $0 to pick up trash
It costs $0 to say “please.”
It costs $0 to be kind
It costs $0 to say “thank you.”
It costs $0 to encourage others
It costs $0 to smile

Lead by Example.

It costs nothing.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If someone has ever taken the time to be a part of your life or help you in any way, I hope you appreciate it. They’re trading hours of their life for you & nothing’s more important than time because it isn't promised. They don’t owe you their time, so give them your gratitude.
