NEGATIVE BODY LANGUAGE LETS
• Your opponents know they have the upper hand
• Your teammates know your selfish
• Recruiters know you can't handle adversity
• Random spectators form opinions about you
Nothing good comes from negative BL.
KEEP YOUR CALM

HS Parents:
Prior to complaining to your child’s coach about playing ask yourself 4 questions:
1 Does my child attend ALL practices?
2 Does my child spend xtra hrs on their game?
3 Has my child performed when given the chance?
4 Does my child want it as bad as I do?
Take responsibility for your effort.
Take responsibility for your attitude.
Take responsibility for your mindset.
Take responsibility for your habits.
Take responsibility for your emotions.
Take responsibility for your leadership.
Take responsibility.
You control you.
Biggest mistakes being made in youth basketball feeder programs today:
1. Zone defenses.
2. A bunch of ball screen offense.
3. Time wasted on cute OB sets.
Some elaboration below based on what I'm currently witnessing that concerns me as a head coach.
Lazy people do a little work and think they should be winning!
-vs.-
Winners work as hard as possible and still wonder if they are being lazy!
Hard work > Lazy 💯

I am so tired of “cool.” I cannot deal with the attempt to be cool while playing. Give me the guys that like to get down and dirty, who are fundamental,and take pride in defense and rebounding. I want players who are coachable and love to compete.
It is cool to be uncool!
Do Coaches have favorites?
100%!
YES THEY DO!
They like the ones who show up on time, work hard, accept coaching, get it done in the classroom, work hard in practice, set the example & are athletes of high character. It’s easy to favor someone who does all the right things.
