A good high school basketball team doesn't need 5 scorers.
It needs a floor general, a lockdown defender, and somebody who knows their job is to rebound everything in sight.
Roles win games. Superstars are built out of teams that commit to those roles.

AAU season means limited practices. Sometimes just 1–2 per week. That’s not enough to stay in a shooting rhythm.
You’ve got to get extra work in on your own.
Early in the week: high volume shooting. Less contact, lock in on form, build consistency, get reps.
Later in the week: game speed, game like intensity. Create shots off movement, simulate real situations, and build a scoring routine from all spots.
Chase efficiency. Move around the floor. Train with purpose.
Marcus Freeman’s philosophy is rooted in accountability
Losses aren’t shared, they’re owned individually. Wins aren’t individual, they’re shared with the team
That balance is what he calls a wrestler’s mindset
Former NFL Linebacker Will Compton was PREACHING in this segment with @NDFootball about Creating Evidence. A must watch regardless of title, age, or industry:
👮♂️ You start with BELIEF, you stand on EVIDENCE. Facts don't care about feelings. When you get there, nobody cares HOW you got there, they care about how you can HELP.
👨⚖️ One Rep ➡️ One Day ➡️ One Week ➡️ One Game ➡️ One Year. At the end of the year, you're graded and judged by the evidence of your WORK. Evidence doesn't just arrive, it's acquired and accumulated everyday. It’s never one moment, it’s the accumulation of all of them.
🏷️ Let Proof Override Labels. Creating Evidence isn't about running from the truth, it's about creating so much proof that past labels become irrelevant.
🧵 Everything matters. Every rep has meaning. Even when you can't see it. Too tired, too emotional, too worn out to see or hear it, but it still means something. So you must TIE meaning to it. The smallest action either adds to your case or subtracts from it, tie purpose to all of it.
🖋️ Facts are permanent, but they do not define who you are, or who you have to be in the future. The truth is the starting point, not the ceiling. Face it, use it, and build forward, the obstacle is the way.
