Guards we have to do better by our bigs. If you have teammates willing to get inside, hold a seal & get pounded on we’ve got to be able to deliver a pass to a lead hand away from the defense while they’re holding their man off.

[Taiya Kikunga @Taikikunga]

Grateful and excited!! 🐻

Shoot all shots! Career shots. Romantic shots. Friendship shots. Relocation shots. All of it! Take the risk. You owe it to yourself to pursue something new and embrace the possibility of getting exactly what you want. This is your confirmation.

Go for it!

Neverrrrrrrrr everrrrrrrr underestimate how much God is protecting you from things you don’t even know about.

[𝓢𝓱𝓪𝔂𝔂𝔂 🧚🏾‍♀️✨✨ @_iamhershayyy]

One day you will look back and realize that God's timing was perfect, and everything happened the way it did for a reason. To protect you, to guide you, and to redirect you to where you were always meant to be. Trust the process even when it seems like it’s not processing🫶🏽

Next April, 2027 at this exact time, you’ll be standing in the places you used to dream about. Living your most beautiful rich life. Send this to yourself.

[Garrett Horton @coach_ghorton]

Forwards that stand out:

• Run the floor 🏃‍♀️
• Rebound outside their area
• Guard multiple positions 🛑
• Finish through contact 💪

Versatility = value.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Covered, protected, chosen. Always.

JUCO isn’t a backup plan. It’s a 1st OPTION.

JUCO is not for the weak though. It’s the proving ground.

•JUCO kids are highly sought after.
• You develop, you succeed and you proceed.
• Your stock rises after real reps.

The RIGHT JUCO will take care of you!

[Ryan Starwalt🏀⚾ @RyStar7_]

One of the things that gets lost in all this transfer portal stuff, P4 vs MM, chasing the bag of $, is that there are kids out there that just want to find the right fit and to play the game they love with teammates & coaches that love it too. I hope that can still exist!!🙏

[Coach D @CoachDaniels06]

All you need is for ONE program to believe in you.

One opportunity

[Cece @mythoughts0530]

Players pay attention: Angela Dugalic came off the bench at UCLA.. and is a top 10 draft pick in the W. Your impact as a player for your team is your most valuable asset. Doesn’t matter if you start or come off the bench….just be your best in the role you’re asked to play. YOU WILL GET NOTICED..

Your reminder that nothing’s determined in a day 🙂‍↔️

[Kiara Marshall @CoachMarshall25]

When I left college coaching in Kansas for HS ball in Texas, I had no roadmap—no mentors, just lessons learned the hard way.
Now, over a decade in, I’m committed to giving back so other coaches can move faster, avoid the pitfalls, and lead with clarity. Thank you @Always_CoachD for having me. #pressureproofperfomance

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Dawn Staley shares the question every recruit should ask and almost none of them do.

"Everybody's good on the good days. It is who you can trust, who you can talk to and communicate with on your worst day."

Then she explained what she tells every recruit:
"We're gonna make you feel good during the recruiting process. You're gonna come here, we're gonna roll out the red carpet, we're gonna give you our best. Everybody's gonna do that."

Every program shows you their best - that's the easy part. But it comes down to trust.

"I want you to think about if it's 2 or 3 years down the line, when you in a slump, or when you lost a parent, or you broke up with a boyfriend, or whatever - Who's gonna get you back on course to be your talented self?"

That's the real question. Not who recruits you the hardest, but who do you trust? And who do you believe will commit to you and your future?

Everyone looks good when things are easy.

The real test is who shows up when things get hard.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“Young people, you need to bet on yourself.
If you think you're that good, you don't need a handout. You just allow your work to speak for itself."

Do not ask to be chosen.
Work until you cannot be ignored.
