I’m going to say this & then go to bed. I can’t stand when cameras focus on certain on bench actions during games from coaches. I know it’s apart of it but I’ve also seen them cut from certain huddles quickly to maintain privacy! It’s not cool to choose who to keep the camera on
When you write about us don’t just write about how athletic we are and how hard we play. Talk about how disciplined we are… our scheme! Coaching! Talk about all of it! 📈
1) Teach it.
2) Demonstrate it.
3) Drill it.
4) Correct it.
5) Emphasize it.
6) Hold them accountable to it.
7) And like the shampoo bottle say… rinse and repeat.

2) Started showing up on time.
3) Stopped causing distractions on/off court.
