@derekdeprey Likely the best AAU post I’ve read.
“Sometimes success is simply getting better, building friendships, making memories, learning life lessons, and squeezing EVERY DROP out of a game you love.”
@DaneMooreNBA The wolves completely mimic Julius and his inconsistent play. The Spurs have zero guys take plays off and our supposed #2 option does all night long.
Finch’s biggest flaw is his unwillingness to hold him accountable.
@TheHoopCentral@ohnohedidnt24 You can’t take starters out down 13 with 4 minutes left one game and then keep your starters in down 16 with 16 seconds left the next game…..David
You’re talented… but you’re quiet.
And that’s the problem.
No voice = no leadership
No sound = no power
No energy = no impact
Everybody wants to be “nice”
Everybody wants to “do their thing”
That’s not how teams win.
Teams talk.
Teams connect.
Teams bring ENERGY every rep.
All this kid EVER wanted was to play in the state tournament with his best friends. You did it Maddox!! Proud of you!!! @maddox_lewis15 #C4L#savethecity
So happy to see Bennett Bommersbach getting his flowers. This young man is 7 months removed from ACL surgery. The toughness shown, the will power to get back as quick as one can to play the rest of the season with his boys? Man what a DUDE. #C4L#thesartellshow#saverhecity
Season ends today. But I am forever grateful for these seniors ! They have been a big part of cathedral program and a big part of my life. Thank you! I owe you
Shane Battier shares a must-listen on what it really means to be a champion, how to be a great teammate, and how to make an impact.
"The sign says, 'Champions are made when no one is looking.' I sorta laugh at that sign because there is no better sign to sum up my career than that. I lived that literally."
Here's why:
"My last few years in the NBA, I was first or last, depending on how you look at it - in a stat called time per possession...I was the NBA's version of hot potato."
Then he did the math:
"I found out that 98% of the time I was on the court, I didn't touch the ball. Only 2% of the time I actually physically touched it."
"Most people watch the player with the ball or guarding the ball. So literally, when I say 'champions are made when no one's watching' - no one is watching me for 98% of the time."
"But yet I was an integral part of my team. I was an integral piece in my coach's sweat when I didn't play."
How did he do it?
"I always looked at ways to impact the game. Boxing out. Taking charges. Sexy plays like running back on defense. All of these made up my 98% of time spent away from the ball."
98% invisible, but 100% essential.
You don't have to score to make an impact on the game.
The best teammates own their role. They are willing to put the team first over individual glory.

Senior Night Tonight @ Sartell High School to honor our 7 senior players and our senior manager. Incredible close group of kids who have made this season memorable. Proud of all the work they have accomplished on the court, but even more of the incredible character they possess.
