Hearing kids are turning their nose up at JUCO, D2, D3 coaches. You have nothing and no one is beating your door down and you turning your nose up at coaches. YOU have nothing. That’s wild to me.
At the college level, everyone can score. That’s expected. What separates you is the other end. Can you guard? Take pride in stops? Be someone we trust every possession? Defense earns minutes.
All scholarships aren’t “full”, not getting a full doesn’t mean you aren’t good…..EVERYBODY wants a full, if everyone was able to give one we would, to those we felt were worth it. Understand when you get a scholarship, the work don’t stop it should amp up. How you got can also be how you lose it….
A Coach Cignetti jewel: “Good players want coached. Great players you can’t coach them enough, they want more, more, more.
Inconsistent players want to be coached on their terms.” …(and always have a response or excuse)
Some of yall don't realize how
Hard it is for high school kids to go somewhere and play a sport Being last minute will make you miss out Better go where they want you
If a player doesn’t play hard all the time, no skill they bring to the table can offset that. Playing hard is a prerequisite to playing. Period. Nobody succeeds by making half an effort. Make sure your players understand that laziness is unacceptable. Competing to WIN is a skill!
This is pretty good when you look at the entire picture. Players that play at a high level realize this early on use it as motivation to be better than the rest.
The best player on a team isn’t always the player who scores the most. Sometimes it’s the player who has a high IQ or a diverse/versatile skill set or a player who is unselfish & coachable or who knows their role inside & out. Basing “good” only on points scored is a big mistake!
