People crave two things: to be authentically heard & unconditionally loved...simple but not easy.
I said it 7 years ago…I think it’s even more true today!

AJ Shaw has been elite this year for Reinhardt (NAIA)!

6'2 PG transferred in from Wake Tech after previously playing at the D1 level. This year, he is averaging:

8.6 PPG
3.4 RPG
2.7 APG

Check out his highlights 👀👇

The car ride home shouldn’t be a press conference.

Young athletes need support more than critique.

Here are 3 phrases every kid should hear:

1. “I love watching you play.”
2. “I believe in you.”
3. “Do your best.”

Simple words. Big impact.

Here are 7 more…

Great to see Gideon have a breakout weekend after a few tough sessions last week. @GiddyAnum @Phenom_Hoops @PhenomExposure #PhenomG3Live #PhenomHoops

Even though SNKRS name drops MJ, the guy that wore the Nike Air Alpha Force the most was Charles Barkley. Here's our review of this solid Barkley retro.

💯💯 No one cares that you played “pro overseas” or at ______ college in 1982. 99% of the “pros” use coaching/training as a side hustle. & that’s what they are doing…hustling people out of their money not teaching these kids ANYTHING.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Huge myth: If you didn’t play at a high level, you can’t coach/teach the game OR if you did play at a high level, then you can coach/teach the game. Neither of these is true. Coaching & teaching the game have absolutely nothing to do with how good your were or where you played!

[Kristin Kidd Parunak @Coach_NAK]

Defense is still important! Great for these young kids to see that = a W bc the other team was a HOT MESS.

[Hoops College @hoopscollege]

Took our kids to watch a college 🏀game on Saturday.
Thankfully @Bellarminehoops teaches @BUKnightsMBB real defense.
His team took so many charges Saturday.
1 of our 7yr olds decided on his own to give it a try in 3x3 yesterday. 😂😍

Sad to see all the gas these kids get from people who don’t know anything. These kids need people who actually know to be honest with them. That’s what “helping them” looks like; not the false hype by 🤡s that will leave them wondering what happened when it comes $$$ time.

[Kristin Kidd Parunak @Coach_NAK]

@KicksandCourts @LAWomensHoops @TweetsbyCoachP @CoachHixonDimes 100%…most of them don’t want the coaching jobs especially on the women’s side. They just have to take that job to get to coach football or teach science or whatever. It’s so crazy to me.

[Kristin Kidd Parunak @Coach_NAK]

@KicksandCourts @LAWomensHoops @TweetsbyCoachP @CoachHixonDimes As 2 former college coaches our kids will not play high school sports. That will be their “off-season” and individual training & development time.

@jmnetter33 @LAWomensHoops Same thing for these parents doing it openly on Twitter & other social media platforms.

[Coach Jess Mannetti @jmnetter33]

I’m listening to a mother at a game tonight and she is horrible. Badmouthing the players & coaches and cursing at the officials. LOUDLY. Only cheering for HER daughter. I will NEVER recruit your daughter. Neither will other coaches if you are part of her baggage. #bebetter

[Hoops College @hoopscollege]

What’s done in the dark, always comes to light! 💫

[Hoops College @hoopscollege]

Did it alone…Did it broke…Did it exhausted…Did it scared.
Still doing it.

[Kristin Kidd Parunak @Coach_NAK]

We can hope, believe & endure because we have been perfectly loved!

[Tyler Relph @TylerRelph10]

If you can’t bring the same energy , passion and focus everyday for your players you shouldn’t coach or train!

Can’t expect your players to do things you don’t do yourself!

Players respond to consistency, so you must be consistent as a trainer / coach

Kuminga just won an NBA championship at 19 years old, but we’ll see a lot of 20 year olds chasing those 17u championships in AAU next month 🤦🏼‍♂️
