Don't be boring. Have something(s) to say. Don't murder prose with weak words (very, maybe, possibly) and buckets of adverbs. Dick and Jane didn't begin "see Spot run quickly."
Send it out. Writers, "write, edit, finish, and send it out." Nobody reads words stranded on your computer.
Deal with rejection. Make your message and prose worthy. Robert Greene shares brilliant content in Mastery. His best-selling writing insults English.
The first sentence slays the reader with forty-four words.
To have our message heard, get better. Share what we don't know. Guys played baseball, watched baseball, know the game. In college, our pitch signs included the indicator, then pitch selection. 1213 meant fastball, because the "1 finger" first always meant fastball. 2132 mean fastball as the first sign was the indicator, then the second sign was 'active.' Simple but effective.
Players, take notes in your notebooks, starting with three things.
"Leave an impression." Tryouts are coming. Excite coaches with your energy, effort, skill, and ability to make teammates better.
"Don't be a coach killer." Coach killers take bad shots, make bad decisions, play selfishly. Bill Parcells said, "Coaches are the most selfish people. We put players on the field who make us look better."
"The ball is a camera." It has to see you to find you. Don't stand still or stand in passing lanes. Move.
Lagniappe: Opening up a shooter with an off-ball screen.
Speaking of the @ATLHawks, here's a nice 'shooting action' set that they run for @camreddish. I love how they space the floor which drags all the other defenders away from helping on the wide pin down - isolating the two defenders in the screening action. pic.twitter.com/yCPzFgmA0Z— Coach Liam Flynn (@coachliamflynn) October 14, 2019
