“You’re going to go in and you’re going to play hard, and if you can’t do that, minutes will be scarce”

Josh Hart on what Jay Wright told him when he got to Villanova 🗣️

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

The difference is in how important the game is to them, and how important their TEAM is. Coachable guys want to win and uncoachable guys care more about themselves and their personal achievements. Programs win with guys who are “team first!”

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

When coachable players are held accountable, they understand it's for the good of the team and seek to learn from the situation.

Uncoachable players think they're being picked on and play the blame game when held accountable.

The summer will always let you know how many real basketball players you have on your team. No mandatory practices or workouts it’s just IF YOU WANT TO get better. 🙏🏾

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Nailed it. It’s not enough to just want to be good…it takes discipline, repetitions and a focus that few have when they get on the court. Don’t just “shootaround,” go get better!

[Coach Cole @CoachColeCC]

‼️ THIS IS A REMINDER TO ALL HS BASKETBALL PLAYERS‼️ Summer is where you separate yourself. Stay disciplined. Get in the gym an hour a day. That’s all you need. You will separate yourself. Look at your screen time… you got an hour to spare.

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

It’s all about the work people are willing to put in. There is no success without doing the work day after day.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nobody talks about the lonely part.

“People always talk about talent, but what they don’t wanna talk about is loneliness. The empty gym…”

- Larry Bird

Confidence.
Nobody gives it to you.
You build it rep by rep.
In the gym when no one’s watching. https://t.co/4zIilqfX40

"Be consistent.

That’s the most important part.

Be consistent with your work."

Don’t be afraid of these things as a coach

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Culture is how we act, interact, and respond."
Culture isn’t on the wall framed.
It’s filmed.
Every correction, every mistake, every hard moment leaves evidence of what your team really values.

[Fennis Dembo's Truth @FennisDembo87]

Holding kids accountable should be applauded not criticized

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Summer is optional for your players.

It was never optional for you.

Here’s what nobody tells you about coaching in the offseason.

[THREAD] 🧵

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Ain’t this the truth!

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Love this. So true.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

It's not about raising the most successful athlete.
It’s about raising a person who is coachable, resilient, and committed to giving their best no matter the outcome.
That's a reflection of something deeper than talent.
It’s a reflection of what they’ve been taught at home.

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

This is so true. Great teams have great parents & guardians.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

The Parent Poison…

Most parents want the best for their kids.

But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.

It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.

A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”

A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”

A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Kids hear everything.

And when they hear it, something changes.

Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.

The mindset shifts from team first to me first.

What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.

You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.

Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.

Great teams cannot survive that environment.

Because the best teams are built on three things:

Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.

When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.

Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.

The healthiest teams have parents who:

Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.

They remind their children:

Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.

They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.

It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.

Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.

So the challenge for parents is simple.

Be the adult in the room.

Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.

Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.

And the best parents don’t poison the culture.

They protect it.

@DavidWolcott1 Thanks. Can you let the Plymouth AD know that the HUDL feed might need to be fixed as well so they have the film to review when it’s over? I know Dave and his staff would appreciate having it but the electrical problem may have caused it to shut off or run out of time.

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Truth is a great separator amongst teams. Players may not always like what gets said, but when they know it is said with love, and in hopes of helping them and the team improve, they usually understand, accept, and even appreciate it.
#TruthIsLove

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Players don’t need sugarcoating.
They need truth tellers.

Spoken with love, belief, and high standards.

The best coaches tell the truth.
Even when it’s hard.

Truth…players separate themselves every day and coaches take notice!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Remember, coaches DO play favorites. They play those who are tough, skilled, competitive, play hard, are accountable, don’t complain, accept roles & coaching, make no excuses & are capable. Ultimately, coaches should play kids who always give their team the best chance to WIN!

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Coaches will win and lose a lot of games, but the greatest reward is the ability to help young people shape their values and their lives. There are so many ways to win that have nothing to do with the game between the lines.

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

High school basketball isn’t about building a program for the next season.
It’s about building character for the next generation.

[CoachHunt @CoachHunt24]

Everyone has an opinion, but it’s the people in the room who show up every day and who put in the work who know what is going on and what a team needs to do to improve. The only way to fix adversity in sport is through commitment, hard work and incremental improvement.
