If you're reading this, you've arrived because you're passionate about basketball and you care about the players. You want to see and share quality basketball not the extracurricular, "look at me" baloney. You want your player's and your team's actions to reflect your brand. What do people see and think when your program gets mentioned?
Respect the game. Respect your opponent. Respect the officials. Respect your teammates. Respect your coaches. Reckless, selfish, thoughtless play shows a lack of self-respect. Any organization which disrespects its people isn't worth your attention.
Great teamwork doesn't guarantee success. But a lack of teamwork guarantees something less. The best players make everyone around them better. Not everyone can be a great player, but everyone can be a better teammate and ultimately a great teammate.
Effort defines you. Effort is the sum of the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual inputs in your life. When you consistently give your best you show accountability to your team. Giving your best effort daily helps you and everyone around you grow.
Process is the sum of how you go about your business. Process reflects your intent, character, preparation, self-regulation, and contributes to execution. When you develop an effective process and focus on adhering on it to the best of your ability, incremental changes become magnified over time.
What you don't see highlighted is results. Respect, teamwork, effort, and process add to create results beyond the sum of the parts. When you examine your program, what does it project?
