Gutsy effort by the Tr1be tonight on the road! Didn't end how we wanted but we battled and left it all on the floor! Future is bright! Keep working! #Tr1be
An observation after working with HS athletes for 2 years. We don’t stress the importance of maturity for an athlete’s level of success. You can be a clown and have a great time, but you will never reach your potential without a mature approach and you are hurting your team.
Every moment you spend with your teammates & coaches competing on the court, in the locker room, on the bus & during practice are times that will never be duplicated in your life. All too soon it comes to an end, so cherish the moments of accomplishment, camaraderie & friendship!
What a great way to send out our three seniors! Thank you for all of the time and effort you gave to our program. Great job leading this team to double digit wins in your final season and helping the younger guys grow and learn! ALWAYS AN APACHE! #Tr1be
Fake Toughness
*Cheap shots
*Talking trash
*Taunting
*Handshake line scuffles
Real Toughness
*Practicing hard every day
*Playing for your teammates instead of yourself (overcoming selfishness)
*Doing the dirty work
*Playing through aches and pains
*Cheering on your teammates when you’re on the bench
*Playing through fatigue
*Making winning plays
Be so TOUGH nothing rattles you.
Be so CONFIDENT you'll face any challenge.
Be so COMPETITIVE you refuse to lose.
Be so ENCOURAGING your teammates respect you.
Be so COACHABLE you're a joy to work with.
Be so RELIABLE we can't keep you off the court/field.

When coachable players are held accountable, they understand it's for the good of the team and seek to learn from the situation.
Uncoachable players think they're being picked on and play the blame game when held accountable.
The work today is preparing you for tomorrow. You don’t want to get in the game, in the meeting, in the moment, and freeze up because you weren’t prepared.
Preparation breeds confidence.

You won’t like it sometimes, but you find out that the people in your life who don’t allow you to take shortcuts or make excuses & hold you accountable, are the people who care for you the most. It’s not personal. It’s all about teaching you, preparing you & helping you improve!
Jake and Bryson North didn’t have an athletic trainer when they were in high school.
The brothers are now in the same profession and in the same conference after attending the same university.

GREAT WIN FOR THE TR1BE TONIGHT! Total team effort! Shout out to our younger guys on the scout team that helped us get ready! Keep getting better! Go Apaches! #Tr1be
Preparation doesn’t guarantee a win or any other results-focused outcome. That’s out of your control.
Preparation guarantees that you grow, that you get better, that you are ready. It gives you the chance not only to succeed, but to succeed consistently.
Do the work.

WHAT A TRUE TEAM IS LIKE
“We have the ability to play hard. We have the ability to play together. That’s the beauty of basketball. The sum can be better than the parts.” (Matt Painter)
PLAYERS: "If you just want to be average then you do average work. If you want to be a little bit above average, you do a little more work. If you want A’s in basketball, you have to do stuff other people aren’t willing to do.“ (Geno Auriemma)

Players: The person you are is far more important than the player you are. Your athletic talent is very temporary, but your character lasts a lifetime. What are your habits? Do you work hard? Are you humble? Grateful? Honest? Do you care for others? Character always follows you!
PARENTS: You are your child’s most important teacher.
- If you Blame others, your child will.
- If you Complain, your child will.
- If you Make Excuses, your child will.
- If you Point Fingers, your child will.
If you Accept Responsibility, your child will.
