In 2022 Jennah Isai was a top recruit, dreaming of someday playing in the Final Four.

Instead a battle with bulimia derailed her basketball career.

But through recovery she found something more important: herself.

@FU_joehudson Very much learning this!

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

We suck at predicting talent development.

We're not good at it. Accept that.

Now, if that's the case, why wouldn't we want to keep more people in the pipeline to see how they develop?

Too often, especially in youth sports, we talent ID too quickly.

We're fooling ourselves.

@Mike_Jagacki Thanks Mike!

Sam Presti on the NBA’s new broadcast partners: “The worst thing for us would be for kids growing up to watch highlights as a means to understand the game. The best thing for us is for people to watch the game itself and have people that can help explain what makes these players so great, or the finer points of the game.”

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

“The NBA game has now become a play hard league. It's not just being top heavy with stars. Roster construction is changing. It's become more important to have more good players than be top heavy with two or three great players that get all the touches.” —Rick Carlisle

▪️Skip to TOK
▪️DHO right into a Pitch to get downhill
▪️No Skip? Go right into a Drag BS-Pitch

Pete Carroll is the man.

At his age, his mentality, and his attitude. Tough to beat.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.

You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

[Ryan Hammer🔨 @ryanhammer09]

I always think about where the NBA’s international stars would have played in college….

Jokic ➡️ Gonzaga/Saint Mary’s feel right
Giannis ➡️ mid major??? DAYTON?
Luka ➡️ Arizona, maybe BYU if in 2025
Wemby ➡️ Duke, Baylor at program peak?

Your kid isn’t a project.

They’re not a brand.

They’re not a walking college application.

They’re a human being learning how to grow.

We’ve turned raising kids into a status game.

A game of chasing accolades, travel teams and prestigious colleges.

But instead of building strong kids, we’re building fragile resumes.

Elevate Your Coaching Game with Dennis Gates

Over 200 coaches at EYBL Peach Jam gathered to learn from the Missouri head coach's expertise.

Here are some key takeaways from his clinic presentation that resonated with all of us.

A thread.🧵

[Frank Martin @coachFMartin]

Watching grassroot basketball for the last month and one thing sticks out to me. Every time somebody makes a three they go into their own celebration. I’ve only seen one guy who points at whoever passed him the ball.
This game is about “us” not about “me “
We need to help young people create habits that fit that

There are so many lessons to learn from all these players being drafted who started playing basketball so late

I didn’t know Aaron Wiggins had this in him but this is absolutely incredible https://t.co/6TCjMg9nYr

For the last 2 years I have watched youth 🏀games from the elite to starter levels.

I’ve noticed a trend: parents/coaches yelling instructions constantly like "Pass! Shoot! Move!" during games. It feels helpful—but it’s holding your player back.

Here’s why. A thread 🧵
