CONFIDENCE is a state of mind and is the single greatest factor to athletic performance in youth sports. It is earned through the acquisition of skill development and when competence increases, confidence is enhanced. It's a natural byproduct.

Resist the urge to "coach" your kid up on the way home. Ask them if they want to talk about the game and if the answer is "NO," respect their decision. Your role is to be encouraging and supportive - trust us! It isn't helping.

The “10 000-Hour Rule,” asserts the key to mastering expertise in any skill is a matter of learning, the correct way, for at least 10,000 hours.
You get to spend 10K hours learning with any #leader, #coach, #athlete, or person of major #influence. Who are you rockin' with?
#Leadership is the lid that determines a person's or team's level of effectiveness. The lower the ability to lead, the lower the lid on leadership. The higher the ability to lead, the higher the lid on leadership. Do the @lakers lack team leadership?

Many parents and players are missing the bigger picture. Do you play AAU to get better or be showcased? 3 things to consider.
Do you trade development for winning?
Do you compete more than practice?
How often do you get to showcase your talent?

Coaches - Let's continue to evaluate what we are teaching and "how" and "why" we're teaching it.
If we're merely doing things "just because" or "it's what we've always done," won't typically result in ongoing #success.

All my players who have achieved incredible milestones #beyondthehardwood. 🏀
Just to name a few - a HS valedictorian, a perfect math SAT score, a 4-year #academicscholarship, a political internship, and countless bachelor's and master's degrees 🎯 #youhoop#buildingleaders
By far, it would be the legendary coach #johnwooden - a man of great #character and incredibly positive influence. He was a masterful teacher that instrumentally translated the game of #basketball 🏀 to life and made better men out of the players that he coached.
I can't wait to begin my first #basketball season as a varsity head #coach. I'm eager to continue preparing my players to compete - mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Furthermore, I can't wait to see them grow as #leaders, #teammates, and #athletes.
#Coaches are always going to keep the #basketballplayers 🏀 on the floor that give the #team the best chance to win. The goal is not to ensure equal playing time.
#Parents and players ask how decisions are made around playing time and how can you earn more?
"Thank you for slowing him/her down."
"Thank you for making him/her do it right."
"Thank you for taking the time to teach him/her."
"Thank you for your patience with him/her."
"Thank you for showing him/her how."
