Practice Harder

Practice is my favorite part of basketball, the opportunity to grow through acquiring new knowledge and refining old.

Here are my practice principles.


  1. Be ready to go on time
  2. When you get a chance to warm up, warm up your shot. Great shooters purify their form (lay down additional myelin on neurons) and build confidence before moving out. 
  3. Bring enthusiasm to everything you do. 
  4. Leave your comfort zone. Adversity informs success. 
  5. Don't become content. Contentment stops progress. 
  6. Challenge teammates to practice hard. Engage both teammates and coaches. 
  7. Don't cheat the drill. Go hard or go home. Concentrate at all times. 
  8. Track your progress. Push to improve your standard. 
  9. Everything at practice should translate to better game performance
  10. Communicate. We communicate continuously both verbally and nonverbally.
