“Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” - Doug Collins
What happens when kids never learn to fail?
They quit when it gets hard.
Because no one let them practice getting back up.
On the eve of College Basketball’s Final Game; I am reminded of Coach Don Meyers 10 Pointers for a State Championship:
1. GET THERE: Everything you do must be geared to getting there.
2. Once You Get There, Don’t Make it a Big Deal - The Awe Factor
3. Do What You Did to Get There, Don’t get Fancy.
4. But Be Aggressive - Look for Ways to Win, Be Aggressive Early in Game.
5. REST; More Gold Medals are Lost from Over Training, than Undertraining.
6. Prevent Easy Baskets!
7. Get Some Easy Baskets: Running, Rebounding, Getting Fouled, Attack their Best Player.
8. Make Your Free Throws.
9. Make Your Layups: Two Hands & Two Feet, Make Clean Layups in Practice, Shoot Pressured Layups.
10. Give Your Team a Reason - Deserving to Win!
High school basketball numbers are declining, and it should concern every coach, parent, and player who loves this game.
If kids don't see value in competing, on the court or in life, what are we teaching them?
We've got work to do as leaders.
