Met up with some of my former players on a recent recruiting trip. Alex Perine (McCook CC), Dwight Goodwin (Northland) & Gary Thomas (McCook CC). Not pictured, Terry Jones (McCook CC.) Great players in their day, even better men today! Love these guys! Proud of you!
To have a great basketball team, every player must give up personal glory and accept their role on the team.
Stop making weak excuses! Giving Effort: Your Choice Skipping Workouts: Your Choice Eating Bad: Your Choice Good Grades: Your Choice Arriving on Time: Your Choice Getting Better: Your Choice Making the right choice is always up to you. Don’t use your bad choices as an excuse!
Have quiet confidence. Don’t talk about it. Be about it, and let your results do the talking.
To succeed as an athlete, you need to be all in. If you’re not fully committed to your sport, you'll be outworked by the athletes who are.
Offseason workouts aren’t for everyone. But neither is playing time or winning. Great athletes set a standard to be DISCIPLINED! Their subconscious screams “wake up & attack the day”! They listen to their deepest instincts to earn the title of greatness. Not everyone deserves it!
Great shooters aren't born. They're made in the countless hours they spend in the gym perfecting their technique and getting in repetitions.
@SunCityHoops It’s interesting to see kids that have good offers continue to post their highlights on coaches pages and other places to try and get more. In our program, the longer a player waits to commit the more time a coach has to recruit another player.
Coaches can only push players as far as they want to go. It's the mentally tough players that will go the extra distance and become great.
College basketball is a constant fight - Fight through screens - Fight with multiple efforts on the glass - Fight to get open and get a catch - Fight to stay in front of a ball-handler - Fight to wall up in the post - Fight to sprint the floor If you can’t fight you can’t play
PLAYERS: Be Mentally Tough! What does that mean for a basketball player? - Box out - Talk on D - Finish plays - Play your role - Play with poise - Get home on D - Take good shots - Cut hard every time - Make the extra pass - Get a body on your screen Toughness WINS.
11 Things Great Teammates DON’T Do: 1. Quit 2. Blame 3. Complain 4. Bring Drama 5. Point Fingers 6. Show Up Late 7. Make Excuses 8. Make Poor Choices 9. Run From a Challenge 10. Bring Negative Energy 11. Badmouth Teammates Be a Great Teammate.
"Play the right way means play unselfishly, respect each other's achievements, play hard, and fulfill your role" - Gregg Popovich
Saturday, Feb. 24 is the final JUCO game for NCTC sophomore, Malic Osei-Tutu! Great team leader, fine young man, tough player!! We will miss you!
Athletes who want to play and only have fun are "PARTICIPANTS" Athletes who work hard in practice & games are "COMPETITORS" Athletes who do what's right regardless of the situation are "CHAMPIONS"
"Hard work is not punishment. Hard work is the price of admission for the opportunity to reach sustained excellence" - Jay Bilas
I advise every basketball guard who is under 6'2 to read this. This should change the way you look at the game I gave this advice to one of my athletes and I have to post it for others out there in the same situation. "At the next level being able to score the ball isn’t going…
Immature Athletes: *Work hard when they want *Take everything personally *Don’t respond well to adversity *Know everything *Are too good to do the little things *Blame others (officials, opponent, coaches) Mature Athletes: *Are consistent in their effort *Embrace being coached…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Yall gotta stop thinking that just because a kid is “big” that he can play. Give me a tweener that can go, instead of a big stiff..and if you’ve ever seen my teams, you know I mean what I say. Height doesn’t always equal production 🤷🏾♂️

GoodLuck on the season my pioneer family ❤️💙 @PioneersWeAreGo @CoachN2022 🏀
The two things you have the most control over: 1. Your attitude 2. Your effort
The objective of sports is to win, but the purpose of sports is to build character. All the athletic success in the world means nothing if it makes you worse as a person.
The five mental challenges of sports: 1. Pushing through discomfort. 2. Blocking out distractions. 3. Staying poised under pressure. 4. Thinking critically to solve problems. 5. Managing your ego and working with others. Work hard to improve in all of these areas!
