Do you agree?

Game coaching is over-rated.

Don't miss this one. It has something for players, parents and coaches https://t.co/wVHxggHUE9

Four years. Countless wins. Record books rewritten.

Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and Trey Kaufman-Renn leave behind a legacy that will live forever with @BoilerBall 🖤

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

An important message for parents.

Negativity at home always finds its way to the locker room.

Parents have the power to help build a positive culture…or poison it.

Ertel and Vise, fire and ice. Mt. Vernon's 1-2 duo might not always agree. But their relationship is a big reason why the Marauders will play for a Class 4A state championship tonight. https://t.co/iNgmcP8JjS

All we got for 40 minutes.

“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo

[Purdue Men's Basketball @BoilerBall]

No one has done it better.

Congrats Braden on an incredible achievement.

[Gerard Hillier @HillierGerard]

Parents are burning cash on private basketball trainers because of FOMO. They think development requires a credit card. It does not. The best academy in the world is your driveway or local park.

Here is the evidence on why you need to go old school. 🧵 👇

Gregg Popovich said, “It’s your job to make me play you.”

Playing time is earned.

A victim mindset says…I didn’t play because coach doesn’t like me.

A winning mindset says…I didn’t play because I haven’t earned it yet.

Don’t be a victim.
