Coaches Play Favorites.

Are you a Favorite?

Here are 7 Favorites that Coaches Play.

#1 Favorite: PLAYERS THEY CAN TRUST.
Can we trust you? Can we count on you? These are the top questions that coaches and teammates demand. If you are not dependable or trustworthy, I don’t care how talented you are; you will struggle to play. Be trusted to be a “favorite.”

#2 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO MAKE THE RIGHT PLAYS.
Coaches want playmakers. Do you make winning plays? You don’t have to score. There are many pieces to make a good team. If you make the right play at the right time, you will find playing time and be a “favorite.”

#3 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO FILL A ROLE.
The most talented players don’t always make the best team. Teams are like puzzles. The pieces have to fit. If you can fill a role that the team needs and be a “favorite.”

#4 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO HELP THE TEAM WIN.
Coaches want to win. If you can make plays that help the team win, you will play. How do you make winning plays in basketball? Getting Loose balls, rebounds, setting screens, drawing charges, playing defense, and more. Help the team win and be a “favorite.”

#5 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO WORK HARD.
Want to get noticed? Work harder than everyone. Coaches will reward consistent hard work. Hard work is contagious and can impact a team in winning ways.

#6 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO ARE COMMITTED.
No Deposit - No Return. Coaches want commitment from their players. Do the work. Do the extra work. Show Up. Commit. Committed players = Committed teams. Committed teams = Winning teams. Be committed and be a “favorite.”

#7 Favorite: PLAYERS WHO HAVE TALENT.
Finally, talent does matter. You have to have some level of talent to play. But talent is not everything. Many talented players don’t get playing time. Develop your talent. Use your talent. Be a “favorite.”

Why do some sports parents sit alone?

- No Drama
- No Complaining
- They do not like Hearing Ignorance.
- No Badmouthing Coaches & Officials.
- They often just want to relax & Enjoy the Game!

Be a part of the solution.

Not the problem.
