Basketball: Intentionality

"Activity is not achievement." - John Wooden

A player says, "Coach, I put in the time." What matters is not only the time working but the quality of the work

  • Leave your comfort zone. 
  • Have a clear idea of what you seek to accomplish.
  • Be intentional in pursuit of your goal
  • It has to be difficult. 
  • Actions must transfer to game play and impact winning. Defenders are not cones. 
  • Ask better questions: "What am I getting from this?" 
I recently asked a coach about an ascending player... he said, "She wants to play. She wants to learn." 

Consider having a workout partner. That increases efficiency, competition, and may drag a teammate into the top ten percent. 

You may be ISO - IN SEARCH OF your identity, who you are as a player. Think about your 'impact value'. Will you impact winning by scoring, passing, rebounding?

Lagniappe. Be yourself, because you can't be somebody else.
