MENTAL FITNESS
Your ability to quickly bounce back from mistakes, bad games, adverse situations is a reflection of how fit your mind is. The same way you want to be in great shape to perform well, you need your MIND to be fit as well so you can move on quickly when things don’t go your way.
Actions over words. I want players to tell me how good they are, but I also need them to show me with their Work Ethic and Game Production.
Those 2 things tell me the difference between Confidence / Belief/ Delusion.
Player Development is not always about adding more, doing more, or expanding your game more.
Narrow your focus!
Eliminate what doesn’t matter!
Do less - better!
Compete within your strengths!
Greatness lies in simplicity -
High Clarity = High Performance!
What most parents want for their kid is 1 on 1 training, but what most need is:
Variability
Small groups (2v2, 3v3, etc.)
Avoiding explicit moves, cones, blocked shooting, agility ladders, etc.
An environment of unpredictablity
Competition
Connecting skills/decisions to the game
So many kids need this advice 😤😤
"Every other decision is the right one. Screen away, front cut, back cut, space away from the ball. The last thing we can do is just do this. It's the weakest move in basketball."

Next time a player tells you he is too good to do basic drills
Show them this video of NBA superstar Paul George doing 2 ball dribbling
Sometimes being elite means you get exceptional at doing regular things

Being late to practice = Late to work
Not working w team = Same w coworkers
Not listening to coach = Same w boss
Lazy effort @ prac = Lazy @ work
Bad attitude now = Bad @ work
The reason your coach has standards is to break any bad habits u may have before you get to the real 🌎
When players work together during player development and decision making drills they begin to solve players together.
Players begin to learn from each other and grow their IQ without being coach led.
