You can’t call yourself a “Shooter” and be the first to leave the gym after practice. You can’t be the one who never shoots before school. If you’re specialty is shooting, you have to live the shooters lifestyle. All day/everyday!
HS Kids (especially seniors),
A reminder of how much little kids look up to you, Keegan is only in Kindergarten but has had senior pictures of kids he collected at grad parties last weekend by his bedside each night since he got them because they are “cool.”
All UIC Senior Girls & Boys basketball athletes are invited to participate in the "Senior Games", Monday Mar 11 at Turkey Valley HS

@sperfslagekyle Maybe not the prettiest game ever played but can’t deny the effort and want from both sides! It’ll be another hard fought contest when we come to Guttenberg I’m sure. Good luck coach and CR players!!!
Being an athlete means more responsibilities:
*Clean social media
*GPA/test scores
*Eat right
*Huge time commitment
Being an athlete means more opportunities:
*Academic oversight from coaches
*Role model
*Travel and see the country
*Life-long lessons and friends
*Scholarships
I dont think recruiting is the biggest issue, its the economics. 250 kids at a public school in reality pulls from less kids than 250 at a private. Its the same reason a, Cedar Falls for instance, is going to have more kids to pull from vs an Ottumwa. QUANTITY model doesn’t work.
Pleased to announce that Tim Schuring & @TNT5Basketball are coming to our High-School gym next Tuesday July 24th for a skills & development camp! THIS IS FOR ALL AND ANY BOYS OR GIRLS going into grades 7-12, not just within the school district. See information & how to sign up!
There is not a coach on earth that does not notice great effort. If you want to create opportunity for yourself, and earn the respect of everyone around you, then simply outwork people. Nothing makes a more immediate and lasting impression than a great work ethic.
Fans, coaches, players ... please think before you lay into an official, regardless of sport, Otherwise, stuff like this will continue to become more common. We're entering dangerous territory, folks. https://t.co/qc7bJrKgSr
