🎯 Shoot the MIDDLE of the basketball.

Good work with @TrevonDuval getting his hand under the basketball and shooting the middle of the basketball.

We laid some ground work before getting into this drill where our focus is getting that ball to come straight back to us.

[Zach Brandon @MVP_Mindset]

We are all just renting our jobs, roles, and titles.

"I have been here for 15 years as the head coach...this position has been on loan and it wasn't mine to keep...It's time for me to give it back, but to give it back to gain what I can't lose." -- Tony Bennett

Titles eventually get handed back. Just make sure you don't completely sacrifice what matters most trying to hold onto something that was never yours to permanently keep.

Jobs are finite. Values are infinite.

“Deep Trust”: Team passes the ball when a teammate has an opportunity.

“No Deep Trust”: Only pass the ball when they themselves NO longer have an opportunity.

Great stuff: @PGCbasketball @JLin7

Appreciate the NOW.

Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think.

One day, the practices, the games, the grind…it’s all gone.

Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity.

Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

.@CoachDaveLove is a well-known shot doctor. He also worked with Nic Claxton on free throw shooting.

Everything I’ve learned as a shooting coach has come from @CoachDaveLove - I love seeing all the other people he’s impacted and elevating the game we all love!

[NetsDaily @NetsDaily]

FYI, Ben Saraf’s 40 point game in G League Showcase Monday was second highest individual scoring game in 31 Showcase games. He credit shot doctor @coachdavelove with changing his mechanics. https://t.co/oYzXUsSOkv

Kara Lawson said, "If you want to be great, you have to start somewhere."

"You develop into your greatness...To me, it starts with competence."

Greatness doesn't happen overnight.

It's built on hard work, consistency, and resilience.

Here are 5 Essentials for Greatness:🧵

[Joey Vara @varashooting]

@CoachMattThomas @tonywmiller Interested in seeing those if you are willing to share coach!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Your role is not who you are.
Your role is not what you are capable of.
Your role is what your team needs from you.
And, if you can do your role really well, then your role expands."

Roles don’t limit you; they prepare you for more.

[Coach Dave Love | NBA Shooting Coach @CoachDaveLove]

In one of my favourite workouts, I only said 5 words.

As I improve as a coach, I'm giving fewer and fewer solutions to players, and instead asking questions that get players to discover solutions themselves.
