The Bible is miraculous: written over the span of 1,500 years by more than 40 authors, across 3 continents & in 3 languages. Yet it tells 1 coherent story of God’s redemption in Christ. No other book compares.

Mathurin leads the series in being upset with no calls after shots of his, and he's got a great argument here

Today @ our Covenant Christian kids bb camp, each kid gets a chance to beat the clock. 6th grader, Ellis Gegg peeled off his camp shirt to reveal his jersey & proceeded to hit the Halli off the back of the rim‼️‼️

“I love being in Indy. Indy has been a grey place for me and my family. My whole family lives there now. I don’t need the glitz and glamour of a large city or anything… Our home-court advantages are different because people are really passionate about our teams and their parents were passionate about our teams. I think that’s a different type of home-court advantage than a bigger city. That’s why I enjoy being a part of it and why I want to be a part of it for the rest of my career. I really enjoy being a Pacer.”

10 truths every high school coach learns:

1. Adversity is coming
2. Every player is different
3. Winning isn’t everything
4. You can't please everyone
5. Parents have tunnel vision
6. Critics will be loud
7. The hours are long
8. The impact is real
9. A supportive spouse is a must
10. The memories? Unmatched

It’s hard. It’s worth it.

I get a lot of parents asking me for advice regarding AAU. Here are my thoughts: 📖 ⬇️

I’m not here to attack AAU whatsoever. Playing AAU changed my life!

HOWEVER - AAU has grown into a whole different beast.

A mom told me she was being told her son has to play on the top AAU team now, and if he takes the summer off to play baseball instead, he’ll never be on a top team and won’t be seen by college coaches and won’t have a chance to play in college. The kid was in 6th grade at the time!🤦🏼‍♂️

My story is unique, and I’m not recommending this to anyone else, but I didn’t play AAU until after 10th grade.

I went from playing in my small hometown of Princeton, MN, to playing with Howard Pulley on the Nike circuit against future NBA all stars and committing to Wisconsin a few months later.

And AAU is what opened the doors to those opportunities!

But if you are in 5th/6th grade, is spending 10 hours in the car every weekend driving to Kansas City to play 4 games really the best use of your time?

You spend thousands of dollars throughout the summer to play in games where you might take 7 shots and never once finish with your left hand.

How much better does that make you?

What if those hours wasted traveling were spent in the gym instead? Getting purposeful reps working on your ball handling, finishing, and shooting?

Of course you also need to play games. Playing games is irreplaceable to build your IQ and general feel for the game.

And the memories of going on trips and winning tournaments with your friends will last forever. And that is important too.

But I think in general the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of games vs practice.

Playing games should be the reward. But when kids are potentially playing 100+ games a year between AAU and school / travel ball, the games mean less and less.

AAU is great. But kids aren’t being recruited in 6th grade. Team rosters change.

Kids shouldn’t be traveling every single weekend for tournaments. Let them be kids. Play other sports. Spend more time practicing and less time traveling. That’s my opinion.

And if you want to travel all over the country starting in 4th grade because you love it and it works for your family, that’s great!

But don’t do it just to keep up with the Joneses
