Life hacks come from anywhere. Be open and use all our senses and our imagination.
A rubber band. Place a colored rubber band on one wrist. Every time we complain, shift the rubber band to the other wrist. Raising our consciousness to complaints reduces complaining. It's a negative feedback principle. "Don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses."
Cellphones. Video is the truth machine. Use your cellphone for "interval training" by recording your play at intervals. Track improvement in skill with a "video record."
Spreadsheets. Spreadsheets allow you to record your physical progress in strength and conditioning. Tracking your bench press has less value than tracking vertical jump (e.g. with a chalked finger) and 17s.
Motivation. What motivates you and other Gen-Z members? Is it a quote, video, song? Find your muse, whatever raises your drive. Inspiration informs a vital task for coaches and leaders.
Music can help players find their best 'activation'. 'Hyper' players may need something calming and lower energy players may respond to more upbeat music.
Learning. Learn every day. Are you a podcast person? The Knowledge Project is one to consider.
Mindfulness. The UCLA Mindfulness site has scripts as short as a few minutes.
Find tools that work for you.

Shot selection is so important
— Hoop Herald (@TheHoopHerald) November 29, 2024
Not every shot is the same for every player. It’s about efficiency. What shot can YOU make at a high clip and what do the numbers say?
