🏆 Steph Curry dropping a gem for young athletes

“I always talk about earning & deserving the confidence you play with because of the work that you put in.”

“The muscle memory & the reps you put in comes out at the right time.”

“Then I’m having fun.”

Practice makes perfect 💯

A lot of young hoopers that are trying to be cool should listen to this message

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"

An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"

Kobe responds:

"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."

The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"

Kobe responds:

"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."

He explains with an analogy:

"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."

The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"

Kobe:

"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."

He concludes:

"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

"What's the biggest difference between the athletes who WIN vs the ones that don't?"

Answer: They have a WINNING story running in their head, all the time

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

Your best player isn’t always the one who scores the most points. It’s the kid who sets screens to get others open, dives on loose balls, and leads with their voice in tough moments.
High school basketball rewards selflessness.

"Any coach will tell you that a player led locker room is better than a coaching lead locker room - giving ownership and finding their voice."

When players lead, accountability stops being optional.

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

“You can always HEAR a good team.

The bad teams… you never hear. They don’t ever talk.

They don’t talk to each other. They don’t talk on defense, they don’t talk in transition.”

- Kelvin Sampson

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

High school basketball is about mastering the basics:
- Rebound like it’s Game 7 of the Finals.
- Defend like your season depends on it.
- Pass up a good shot for a great one.
Effort and fundamentals beat talent every single day of the week.

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

There’s nothing more dangerous in high school basketball than an unselfish star player.
The one who passes when they could shoot, plays defense like their scholarship depends on it, and lifts their teammates.
Talent wins games — but humility wins championships.

[Brandon Guyer - Major League Mindset @BrandonGuyer]

Two players walk into every season.

Player 1 has out-of-this-world, God-given ability… but a weak mindset. When things go wrong, confidence disappears. Pressure feels heavy. The game becomes stressful.

Player 2 has pretty good natural talent, nowhere near Player 1, but has an elite mindset. They control the controllables, welcome adversity, and see pressure as fuel. Their confidence is built from their daily disciplines.

I always ask athletes: Which player ends up with more confidence? More fun? A more rewarding and successful career on and off the field? The answer is obvious.

Talent might open the door. Mindset is what keeps it open. And the best part? Mindset is trainable. Bring it on.

Give this a listen

It’s not always about the points you score

There is much more that goes into a basketball game
