basketball successful coaching
For us to be successful on defense, we must get back and stop the basketball, eliminate easy baskets, keep the ball out of the lane, and bother the shooters.
play discipline incredibles
It is a paradoxical statement, but it takes incredible personal discipline to play with great freedom.
basketball team kids
Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.
basketball philosophy frustration
Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.
basketball real team
I concluded some time ago that a major part of success of a team, or of an individual, has a great deal to do with the intangible qualities possessed. The real key is in how a person see himself (humility), how he feels about what he does (passion), how he works with others (unity), how he makes others better (servanthood), and how he deals with frustration and success, truly learning from each situations (thankfulness). I believe those concepts are the essence of a good player, team, coach, or individual in any capacity in life.

Practice to beat the best.

aside emotions fact kids maybe owned
I don't know what that is aside from the emotions of the game. Maybe the fact that they have pretty much owned us over the years. I'm not sure. I do know . . . that they've got a lot of young kids out there.
clear turn until wait
He's got to wait until his turn comes up. I made it clear I want to go to the end of this season.
break good happier life next point season work
I feel good about doing it. It didn't work out for me, but I think it was the right thing to do. I would be much happier if things break for (Tony) next season than if they had for me this season. I'm at that point in my life now.
