💯 facts

[Del Current @DelCurrent]

Parents are with their kids more than anybody. You have to be honest with them about the amount of work it takes to be successful at 🏀. Some parents won’t facilitate it BUT some parents will if they actually KNEW what they should be focusing on.

[Jared Benavidez @Jb_505]

Opportunities present themselves to those who are present, both physically and mentally.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Do you know who dislikes the lack of accountability for misbehaved students in schools even more than teachers?

The good kids who actually want to learn.

They’re often the ones being silently bullied, distracted, intimidated, or forced to sit in chaos every day while administrators let it continue.

When a severely misbehaved student is suspended, it’s often a relief for the students trying to do the right thing, too.

I am watching a good 15u game but man, this kid don’t pass the ball worth shit. His teammates are dejected and the coach don’t say nothing. It’s painful to watch.

[Lilian Bryant @LilianSBryant]

Heart of Texas💜 recap- Our team competed! Every possession, both ends. The little things add up. We finished 3-1.

Great weekend for Wills🔥💪🏾

[Zach Elder @CoachZachElder]

We have a problem.

Somewhere along the line, “Playing multiple sports is good!” turned into, “you have to play all of your sports simultaneously year round!”

We’ve lost the plot. Kids cannot play a baseball, basketball, and football season all at the same time.

[Geo Baker @Geo_Baker_1]

As AAU live period approaches, my message to all the kids is to value winning habits over everything else. There is a difference between being capable of scoring 20 a game and looking like you’re trying to score 20 a game. Understanding that difference is key to winning/losing. 💯

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

I learned that lesson with my son. I couldn’t make him score more. He was able to score when needed. Never averaged 10ppg in 2 years of college and 4 years in the NBA. It didn’t hurt him. If you have to encourage your kid to score…it ain’t them.

[Jen @jenteach13]

Nobody talks about the twenty-eight kids who lost the lesson because the system protected the one who made it impossible.

[Jared Benavidez @Jb_505]

@denverrefugee Agree, however, they still get the minutes and acknowledgement over the kid that plays the right way.

[Jared Benavidez @Jb_505]

Bad spacing. Not understanding where the D will rotate to & basic O movement on drives. The kids w/higher IQ that play team basketball get penalized for not being "offensively aggresive". 8 asts & 2 pts > 14 pts & 1 ast. But the kid with 14 stands out and is rewarded more. Smdh.

[Jared Benavidez @Jb_505]

It's wild how much bad basketball is promoted @ the youth level. "Go get yours" instead of passing to the open teammate. Lack of D principles, "if my man doesnt have the ball im not playing D". Sticking the ball @ the top w/100 dribbles letting the D reset instead of swinging.

[Devin Catlin @dcatlin_]

I wish there was a better way to combat the “get mine” mindset in AAU basketball. Scoring matters, but at the next level, everybody can score.

Attitude. Effort. Defense. Decision making. Winning habits. Those are the things that translate. So much talent being mislead!
