TNT = Takes No Talent 🧨

- Effort
- Energy
- Hustle plays
- Being a great teammate
- Doing the little things right

Talent might get you noticed, but TNT gets you on the floor, keeps you in the lineup, and earns you respect.

Are you dominating the things that Take No Talent?

2⃣📚 | Wieder halten wir unseren Gegner innerhalb der 60-Punkte-Marke, wieder entscheiden wir über unsere Defensive das Spiel, wieder wird Joel Scott Topscorer. Also alles beim Alten? Weit gefehlt! Die Entwicklung ist sichtbar gut.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kirby Smart said, "Don’t be a blame guy. That’s the first sign of loser mentality when you blame someone else for a mistake."

Blaming others shifts the focus from problem-solving to finger pointing.
• It lacks ownership.
• It lacks responsibility.

The blame game is one of 6 you don't want your team to play because it means pointing failures or mistakes on others instead of taking personal accountability.

Here are the 5 others:
1. The Complain Game - The only thing complaining changes is your attitude and for the negative. Complaining is not a solution, it's only a distraction from action, gratitude, and growth. It creates a negative environment, reduces productivity, and reduces motivation.

2. The Excuse Game - Excuses are just lies you tell yourself. It's your fear, insecurity, and denial talking instead of taking accountability. Making excuses prevents learning, growth, accountability, and development.

3. The Gossip Game - It means spending time spreading rumors or private information. It erodes trust, teamwork, and relationships. You create a toxic environment when you gossip because you don't focus on what matters: the team.

4. The Avoidance Game - It means avoiding difficult, but necessary conversations, decisions, or tasks. You can't avoid accountability or healthy conflict. As a leader, you need to set a high standard and lead from the front.

5. The Comparison Game - It's when focus too much on others instead of performance or improvement. It creates jealousy and resentment, undermining your own satisfaction, confidence, and self-esteem. Focus on your goals and growth.

Recruiters look at:

1. Your attitude.

2. How you treat your teammates/coach.

3. Your body language on the bench.

4. Your hustle.

@AmyCeltic Did you talk to the person with the AF Academy backpack? I guarantee it’s somebody who works for me!!

Players who complain about how much they have to work in the off-season are usually the players who also complain about playing time during the season.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Players who question their playing time should first question their practice time!

Youth sport is about participation, development, learning and fun.

If a coach just wants to win they should play a PC game, not with kids' lives.
