People think confidence comes from daily affirmations in the mirror… but what they fail to realize is confidence actually comes from putting in the work and gathering undeniable evidence that you are actually the person you think you are.

If you want to MAKE plays, then don’t miss practice, workouts, extra reps, meals, film, etc. As Navy Seals say ”Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.” You don’t fall victim to pressure. You fall victim to your lack of preparation!

When you hold mediocre players accountable they think you’re being mean to them. When you hold good players accountable, they understand what you’re tryin to do & the mission.

The block/charge rules or how they are administered have to change. There are far too many unearned charge calls, which encourages defenders to just dive into paths rather than play actual defense. It hinders offense, which hurts the game. This true both men & women.

Something I've noticed The athletes that make the most progress in 4 years are the ones who commit to training hard over the summer and breaks It's not sets, reps, exercises variations, or methods It's consistency and commitment to training That's the secret

Wisdom here: Deliberate practice: a special type of practice that is purposeful & systematic. Deliberate practice requires focused attention & is conducted w/ the specific goal of improving performance. JJ getting advice from Steve Nash.

You have to be REALLY good to get an offer to play D1 basketball. Some seem to think they hand those out to just anyone.

This is tremendous! Don’t over promise a recruit or it NEVER ends well This is so big time (Via @ChaseChats4 🎥) x.com/ChaseChats4/st…

Summer intentions & actions say a lot about you. Missing workouts with no communication, being late & always making excuses eliminates a lot of players from leadership roles. Leaders show up & do hard things; they hold themselves & others accountable and they lead by example!

Winning tournaments feels exciting, but it doesn’t always mean players are developing. In fact, chasing wins at the youth level can sometimes get in the way of long-term growth. Here are some thoughts from two years of observing the youth space. A thread. 🧵
