Got an email from @transformbball saying if I cancel @BBallImmersion membership & send proof I get a discount on their stuff. Might be the most disrespectful and sleazy thing I’ve seen… ever. Totally unprofessional.
Bullshit way to do things.
Great line from a podcast
Kindness is telling people what they need to hear. Being nice is telling people what they want to hear
"Being kind to others is mostly about your actions.
Being kind to yourself is mostly about your thoughts."
You do not have to respect sloppy work, a bad attitude or missed deadlines but you do have to always be respectful of the person who does the bad work even as you work to improve it
Gregg Popovich on Love
You can get on a player but they must know that they are still as valued by you after they game. They need to know you love them.
Culture doesn’t make tension go away. People are people. They are infallible.
What good cultures have is the willingness to face the tension, solve it and see it in a way that bad cultures avoid it.
Chase shooters off the 3
It’s still pressure defense – making the ball do something
If they hit the 3 you can’t play D anymore
If they get chased off you can scramble and possibly get them back to neutral
Regarding turnovers
Where do they happen? What action caused them? Specific spot on the floor? Who caused them?
Tremendous masterclass by @BBallImmersion with Andrew Wade from the Mystics. Great ideas for all levels of basketball. This type of content digs deep and provides so many different perspectives. BB Immersion is well worth the investment.
Sometimes taking shots and making them can play you into the game but more often than not poor shot selection can play you onto the bench
Rick Majerus on taking a charge
"never fault you for taking a charge except for a time and score situation. Don't give the refs a bail out call"
Rick Majerus rules for Post D on a catch
Must have 6" cushion or gap
"Umbrella" with Hands up
Get lower and wider - make them go through you
DISCIPLINE - don't get suckered by a fake or a spin
Desire and a ferocious need to win are wonderful attributes, but they have to be tempered by a cool head.
Games–like life–are all about waiting for chances and then pouncing on them.
Sir Alex Ferguson
As gen x’ers we’ve been lied to. We never had the internet or google to look things up
Road runner was a lie. It was sold to us that the Road Runner would always outrun Wile E Coyote. Now kids can look it up. Avg speed of roadrunner 20 km/hr. Avg speed of coyote. 43km / hr
Your worst enemy cannot harm you
As much as your own thoughts, unguarded.
But once mastered,
No one can help you as much.
From a commencement speech by former Coca Cola CEO Brian Dyson
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t B afraid 2 encounter risks. It's by taking chances that we learn how 2 B brave.
Don’t shut luv out of Ur life saying it’s impossible to find time. quickest way 2 receive Luv is 2 give; fastest way to lose luv is 2 hold it 2 tightly; best way 2 keep Luv is 2 give it wings.
