Players: Which player are you?
Bad players don’t take too much seriously
Average players take games seriously
Good players take practice & games seriously
Great players take academics, nutrition, warm-ups, ind. work, weight room, conditioning, film, practice & games seriously
Players: Your body language toward missed shots, teammates mistakes, being whistled for fouls, getting your butt kicked on a play, being subbed out of the game, how you lose & handle any adversity tells coaches all they need to know. What’s your body language saying about you?
Before you go to bed celebrate your success of the day. Identify one great thing about your day; one great conversation, accomplishment, thing that made you smile, or win that made you proud. Focus on your success and you'll look forward to creating more success tomorrow!
Seniors: You have one season of HS sports remaining. Please don’t take a single opportunity or day for granted. Work hard. Help others. Be present & live in the moment. Cherish your teammates & coaches. Make memories for a lifetime, because the days will come & go all too soon!
Players: If you choose to:
-have a bad attitude
-sleep in
-skip workouts/reps
-ignore your priorities
-slack at practice
-hang out more than workout
-put yourself before the team
Don’t blame your coach when you can’t perform & don’t play. You’re responsible for your own choices
I found people that were willing to push me. I was like, 'These are my goals. I need you to get me here.' I don't need any excuses. I won't make any excuses. I'm over making excuses. – Julie Ertz
