It costs $0.00 to be a great teammate.

[Coach Desmond. @TripleDoubleXO]

Defensive Non negotiable:

DEFENSE:
Talk - Screens, Help, Shot
Sprint - Transition Defense, To the ball
Stance – Knees bent in an athletic position
Ball Pressure - Closeout, Pressure, Contest
Finish - Charge, Loose Ball, Reboun

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

If your coach is being tough on you and demanding consider it a gift.
They probably see some things in you that you don't see in yourself.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Nothing great in life comes easy, and nothing that comes easy is great. Some of our happiest moments come from stepping out of our comfort zone and striving for greatness.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Four ways to be a better teammate in games:

The Coach’s Spouse You Don’t See.

Late nights.
Missed dinners.
Emotional seasons.

They don’t get the wins.
They feel the losses.

Every great coach has someone sacrificing with them.

We don’t talk about that enough.

[CoachJaida @CoachJaida]

There’s a reason they call hard work HARD.

You can do HARD things.

Being strong in gaps is the #1 most important skill as a driver in high school and college basketball ❗️

Using a quick second dribble allows for bumps against your primary defender and cleaner gathers through the gap defender 🔑

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"The way you build a championship team is you build it by what you do every day.
If you want to be a championship product, it's a daily consistent process.
And it's difficult.
It's difficult to convince yourself every single day to come in here with the same mentality."

[Motivate Athlete @MotivateAthIete]

Believe in yourself. There is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle you will face.

@luceeeoooo Great job!

[Coach Tony Miller @tonywmiller]

SSG Sunday: Cone Tap 1v1 Finishing

The defender tosses the ball to the driver then touches either cone before defending the ballhandler’s drive. Adjust the cones for bigger or smaller advantage. Great for even young kids.

[Cori Close @CoachCoriClose]

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

John Wooden shares a mindset that we all need to adopt every day.

"Yesterday is gone. That'll never change. Tomorrow is yet to be."

"How can you affect tomorrow? By today. That's the only possible way."

"I tried to get each player to make each day his masterpiece."

Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future - make today your masterpiece.

Then he shared advice he gave to certain players:
"You've gotta put the past out. Good or bad, it's past - it'll never change. The only way you can affect the future is what you do today."

You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. You only have today.

Then he recited a poem by Vivian Larimore that he loved:
"I've shut the door on yesterday, its sorrows and mistakes. I've locked within its gloomy walls past failures and heartaches."

"And now I throw the key away to seek another room and furnish it with hopes and smiles and every springtime bloom."

"I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away. Tomorrow holds no fears for me, for I have found today."

"Today is the day that counts. It's today."
The present moment is the only place where you can truly make a difference.

Don't carry yesterday's failures or worry about the unknown.

Focus on what you can control.
