Jan Jensen says they need a glass half full point of view.
I like this quote: "Disappointments and setbacks make losers bitter but they make winners better."
High school basketball is the ultimate test of grit. No endorsements, no millions on the line—just love for the game, pride for your school, and the desire to outwork your opponent. If you can succeed here, you can succeed anywhere.
"Practicing hard is a choice. Watching extra film is a choice. Lifting weights, being coachable, and going to class are a choice. Your choices here are going to force me to either play you, or sit you on the bench. You’ll get exactly what you want." (Pat Summitt)
As a coach you have to be able to have standards your program keeps, regardless of the outcome
“I would rather lose than watch kids play the way some kids play.”
In the end the right things works far more often than the wrong things
Players think scoring a ton is how you get noticed by college coaches. FALSE! Coaches want toughness, effort, defense, high 🏀 IQ, coachability, and great teammates. Showcase that and coaches will notice. @nresultsrecruit
“Every possession matters. Take pride in every possession. It’s a game of possessions. It’s also a game of will.” — Pat Summitt
