First of all, a HUGE S/O to all of the media and evaluators pushing out content from @PBRhoops PRIME-TEXAS this weekend. In lieu of individual players profiles, I’m going to give a thread of a few thoughts from opening weekend as the spring gets into full force. 🧵👇
PASSING In general, club ball is played at a much faster pace than HS ball. With that comes the importance of timely & accurate passing. Showing the ability to pass under game pressure is a huge translatable KPI for me. accurate passes = buckets 🧵👇
@ShaneLaflin COMMUNICATION I talked to the parent of a super elite prospect from this weekend and my message on what I’m looking for improvement on was TALKING defensively. If you want to play at the next level, start by talking on both ends of the floor. communicators = winners
@ShaneLaflin CONFIDENCE The #1 struggle I see at all levels of GBB/WBB is true self confidence when things aren’t going well on the court (much easier said than done). This game is hard and will test you, there is only one tried and true way to find your confidence… GET IN THE GYM!!! 🧵👇
@ShaneLaflin RELAX & BE YOU To go along with confidence, I see some putting way too much pressure on themselves. Basketball is FUN and putting too much pressure on yourself only makes the hard things harder. If you are truly putting the work, it will show - SMILE and let it go!!! 🧵👇
