1. Increase my work capacity/efficiency. Invest more time; spend less time. Time is the ultimate commodity. Approach every day with 'beginner's mind' to energize and be the Positive Dog!
2. Seek understanding not validation. Ego is the enemy.
3. Simplify. Simple is powerful. Every player deserves that.
4. Growth mindset: Read more; Understand the reading better. Quality over quantity.
5. Mindfulness every morning. I favor "Lion Mind" & "Body Scan." Free UCLA mindfulness.
Write better. Use the Elements of Eloquence. Lead followers and follow leaders.
Lagniappe:
Think of it as a Horns "route tree." The point guard triggers actions on either side including high ball screen, blind pig action or screens away, including flex action. Wing entry (e.g. 3 coming up) could set up a UCLA-like cut, or a wing ball screen. It's all nonsense if players can't set up cuts, pass, and finish.
Double bonus: Celtics vs Houston 12/28/17
I thought this might turn into a modification of "Portland" where 2 comes off the stagger and looks for the trey at top of the key (Celtics down 3). Instead, the Celtics inbounded to Smart (2) and brought Tatum (4) off an Irving screen (1) looking for a three...it was overplayed and Tatum cut to the rim and Smart dropped the dime.
