Acronyms grow on you. PR might mean public relations, but I prefer Primacy and Recency. RICHEST (Leadership) - relationships, intent, commitment, humility, enthusiasm, servant leadership, thankfulness. SSCP (Offense) - spacing, screening, cutting, passing. DRFLaPS (Zone offense) - dribble penetration, reversal, flash, post up, screen.
But acronyms are much like shots, they only matter when you convert them. They count when transformed into action. And the action acronym is AWES...ability, work ethic, selflessness.
Greatness = Ability + Work Ethic + Selflessness.
Add in an African proverb, "you can go faster alone, but you go farther together."
The player who 'awes' makes others around her better. Her ability translates to offensive and defensive productivity. Her work ethic makes her a "come with me" leader, encouraging concentration and effort from teammates. Her selflessness connects teammates with her and to each other.
The player who 'awes' knows that the TEAM is the MAIN THING. She cares sincerely about the well-being and improvement of both teammates and community. She defines her growth as relevant only in as much as the team rises. When we see AWESome, we know it and feel grateful to be part of it.
