When someone tells you it can not be done, it's more a reflection of their limitations, NOT YOURS! 🏀💪🏼

PLAYERS: Don't be worried who the starters are. Be focused on who the finishers are!

[Adam Barnes @CoachBarnes1]

We've been talking about this for years ...it's a shame too. Kids content with being the "best" instead of being their best. https://t.co/OevYqXK9hL

If your coach is being tough & demanding of you, consider it a gift. They probably see some things in you that you don't see in yourself.

The best teams have chemistry. They communicate with each other and sacrifice personal glory for the common goal - Dave DeBusschere

[Aaron Kallhoff @CoachAKallhoff]

Successful people build-up others. They will motivate, encourage, and inspire. Unsuccessful people complain and blame. #InvestInOthers

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Attitude on the bench is important. Don’t look uninterested. Encourage your teammates. Keep your head in the game.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

There is no substitution for hustle, and if you don't hustle there will be substitution - Tex Winter

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Playing defense without fouling is so important. Silly fouls ruins all the good defense played on a possession.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates - Michael Jordan

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Important qualities in every great coach!

[Daniel Makepeace @PureIntensityBB]

LESS talented teams that play TOGETHER will go further than MORE talented teams that play as INDIVIDUALS!

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

On the best teams, all the players are on the same page.

Everyone buys in and works together!

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

The best players are always seeking constructive criticism. They want to know which parts of their games need to be improved.
