@mikenclark General understanding and shedding stigma, you don’t have to be sick to get better.
If you build it, they will come. New regional attendance record!!!! @MarchMadnessWBB
Bigger than basketball
@_ajawilson22 Meanwhile . . . look at class act #15 Nina Riccards of FLA. Pulled KY's best player away, calmed her down, and stayed with her during the fray. KY player won game, Riccards won life.
Recruit: "am I gonna start?" Us: "You tell us. Are you going to play D/take care of the ball/get good grades/know the scouting report/show up on time/be coachable/work hard in practice/embrace a role/get extra shots up/respect your teammates/etc/etc?" You tell us. #tritonpride
I love her even more for this! Transitions are HARD and they are not talked about enough. I see this with HS to college athletes all the time … no one really prepares them. KP sees a need (re: mental health, expectations + physical readiness) and is bridging the gap. 👏 👏 KP
We are excited to announce the @Kelseyplum10 inaugural Dawg Class camp, taking place this April! This 3-day camp for 9 of the top collegiate women’s basketball guards will help bridge the gap between college ball and the pros. Let’s go get it! 😤💪🤝
Your mental health hangs on your ability to separate them 🏀❤️
REMINDER HOOPERS You are so much more than the player that you are. “Basketball is what you do, it is not who you are.” (S/O @CoachSamAllen) This was something I wish I heard while I was still playing. You bring SO much value to this world beyond what you do on the court.
One possession at a time
Billy Donovan 🎯👇 Players think… “I’m letting the team down because I turned the ball over, I’m letting the team down because I missed a shot… No, you’re letting the team down when it parlays into 4-5 possessions after that.”
@WhatcomOrcas Thank you for these updates! Keep them coming
Confidence in yourself to show up and confidence in your skill are two separate things. If you don’t master the first, you won’t master the second
Confidence comes from putting in the work. And even if the work doesn’t immediately reflect in outcomes you sleep better at night knowing you’re doing what you can to create change. Sometimes the only way over something is through. 💪🏼
5) We view struggle as a negative, but struggle makes us strong. People have this skewed belief that a coach can shelter children from difficulty and failure, but that's not the case. As parents, we try to do the same thing. We need to have the courage to let our children fail.
@UOrangemen Oof. Someone’s not doing their job because the top 5 scorers in D1 are under 6’2. The number 1 three point shooter is like 5’9. And academics should drive pretty much everything.
Great thread with some gems 💎 Athletes - take note and build some of these tiny actions into your game goals (hint: a lot of these are process goals, very few mention stats!)
Coaches, what’s the smallest detail you pay attention to when scouting the opps, and why does that detail matter? 👀🏀
Underrated feeling: knowing a teammate is hot and working as a group to get him another shot. #tritonpride
As 2022 ends, athletes know that YOUR WORTH IS NOT TIED TO YOUR SPORT! You are much more than just an athlete!
15. Perfectionism is a double-edged sword; it’s a motivator and a constant critic that will zap you of your confidence if you aren’t careful.
5. Feeling good is overrated. Are you that bad that you have to feel good to play well? Act differently than you feel. ACE - Acting Changes Everything.
The pro shows up & does the work. The amateur works only when they feel like it.
3 year Varsity junior, two year starter, who never leaves the court for us, bringing water to the JV’s during a timeout in their game! Doing this completely on his own. Winner.
Pay your dues. You don’t get to achieve mastery without embracing the boredom of consistency. You don’t get to have success without experiencing failure. You don’t get to always feel good. You signed up for the hard road the moment you committed to going after your dreams.
Same with mental training (which can be a form of team building and bonding). Coach, if you assign it to athletes to do on their own or before/after practice, they won’t take it seriously.
12\ Team Building Invest heavily in team building activities. Do them DURING PRACTICE HOURS so players don’t feel like “it’s just another thing they have to do”
