Wemby can’t settle. Gotta get downhill.

[Adam Barnes @CoachBarnes1]

One of the most underrated offensive concepts in basketball is “advantage preservation.” Creating an advantage is hard. Maintaining it is even harder.

Bad teams get a paint touch then settle immediately. Elite teams continue forcing rotations until the defense breaks completely. Extra passes, re-screens, slot exchanges, drift movement, and quick decisions keep defenders in constant conflict.

GREAT offenses are designed to stress defensive communication over and over within the same possession. Eventually someone misses a tag, blows a switch, or rotates late. That’s where efficient offense is created.

Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL

It’s not a lack of talent.

Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable.

As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why.

“There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.”

“These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’”

“Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’”

“And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.”

“And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.”

“They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.”

Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find.

It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.

TYG for allowing me to be a person with no ego and also a person that doesn’t crave attention. #TYG

Most people only catch the surface. The real story be in the sacrifices, the discipline, the losses, the nights nobody clapped for.

That’s why the loudest person in the room usually ain’t the one really working. The ones building something real move different.

Rajon Rondo closed his AAU timeout by preaching one thing — play off two feet.

Not a play. Not a trick. Just jump stops.

And watching his son Pierre and his teammates execute it is all the proof you need that this concept works at every single level of the game.

The jump stop puts you in control. Not the defense.

Austin rivers smoked it here. Said nothing but facts about draymond

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

Completely agree

The burn out factor in youth sports is very high

Let kids find their own passions and then do whatever you can as parents to feed that passion

Culture doesn't change when coach tells a player he's wrong.
It changes when players tell other players: "no that's not how we do things here"

If you can’t look a man straight in the face and tell them the truth, then you need to check your manhood!

You can tell a lot about a team by the way they warmup before a game.

[Aye Professor ! @JayPapi1_]

You try to change, they still judge you on your past life .

[Hunxho @hunxhoszn]

They'll congratulate somebody doing the same shit as you.. but not you.. cause it's you

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“You can have different personalities, but you can’t have different mentalities…”  

We don’t need everybody to be the same person.
We need everybody to buy into the same standard. Culture isn’t a speech—it’s habits.
It’s accountability.

Very difficult to get players to understand this concept.
