How do you DESTROY a Team Culture?

Drip by Drip…

1. Skip reps
2. Show up late
3. Blame others
4. Take-off plays
5. Negative energy
6. No accountability
7. Sloppy in practice
8. No team cohesion
9. No communication
10. Bad body language
11. Complain about calls

How do I define Culture?

- Culture is what you allow.
- Culture is what you emphasize.
- Culture is EVERY DAY.

Protect Your Culture.

Culture WINS🏆

If we’re being totally honest and real:

High Major D2 is better than some bottom tier D1

Top Level NAIA is better than some bottom tier D1

Some Elite D3 is better than some bottom tier D1

High End JUCO is better than some bottom tier D1.

🚨Athletes🚨
Show off your versatility!
Mix in clips that highlight your defense, passing, and decision-making—not just scoring.
Coaches love players who can make a difference all over the court.

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

Athletes as your season approaches I thank you for continuing to send in film!

After reviewing hours of tape from athletes, it’s safe to say I will plan to hop on calls for the rest of the month to get more insight into what you’re looking for and how @UpNextAgency8 can help you

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

Athletes go ahead and listen in to get an insight into what Coaches are looking for!

Shoutout to our very own @JTuedor for setting up this exceptional experience.

Athletes:
-Do you truly like the school?
Consider its culture, academic offerings, and overall vibe.
-Are you being made a priority by the program and its coaching staff?
- Is the location a key factor for your college experience?

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

@JTuedor @UpNextAgency8 @UpnextAyo Proud of our progress, but this is indeed just the start of what we plan to accomplish for players, parents, and coaches!

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

🚨🚨
Couldn’t have said it better than @JTuedor. We hope to get players over that hump and be seen by college coaches. Everyone here at @UpNextAgency8 knows the frustration of recruitment because we lived through it. We cater towards helping young players achieve their goals!

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

🚨🚨
Recruits, being just good doesn’t guarantee you a spot at the next level. Make sure in everything you do whether on or off the court you exceed the expectations and surpass the competition.

[Patrick Bonna @UpnextPatrick]

Coaches, I’m telling you now… this kid can play.
Continue reaching out if you are interested you do not wanna miss out on a player and kid like Tyler.

[William Payne @TweetsbyCoachP]

All it takes is ONE coach to believe in you and ONE school to give you a chance….

The rest is on YOU to capitalize on it all!
