๐จ COMMON MISTAKES PLAYERS MAKE DURING LIVE PERIODS?? ๐๐
Straight from D1 coaches ๐๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Had a great conversation with D1 Coach McKenzie @CoachNesh from St.Joseph University @SJUHawks_WBB
โ Playing for highlights instead of winning
โ Bad body language after mistakes
โ Forcing shots to โget noticedโ
โ Not defending or talking
โ Ignoring coaches/teammates on bench
โ Thinking ONE game changes everything
โ No energy when not scoring
โ Parents causing distractions in the stands ๐
College coaches are watching MORE than points ๐ฏ
They notice:
โ Effort
โ Communication
โ Decision making
โ Coachability
โ Defensive intensity
โ How you respond to adversity
โ Teammate interaction
โ Consistency ALL weekend
A 12-point player who impacts WINNING can stand out more than a 30-point scorer forcing everything ๐๐ฅ
LIVE PERIODS donโt just expose talentโฆ
They expose habits.
