To play your best in games, you need to let go of all your fears, trust your instincts, and allow your body to do what you’ve trained it to do.

The difference between interested & invested players shows in the summer. Interested players need perfect circumstances(too hot/cold, no music, too busy). Invested players just need a place to work & get better (gym, track, weight room) & they do. How do you use your off-season?!

SEPARATION SUMMER 😎 Separate yourself from your competition this summer by: 1. Doing more than your competition. 2. Working harder than your competition. 3. Being more disciplined than your competition. 4. Leading more of your teammates to fully invest than your competition.

If you only work hard when you feel motivated, you’ll never be consistent enough to reach your biggest goals. To succeed in life, you need to have the discipline to work hard even when you don’t feel like it.

SUMMER WORKOUTS ARE HAPPENING NOW... - are you going? - are you giving your best effort? - are you leading your teammates? - are you holding them accountable? - are you getting better as a team? #CultureWins

Lebanon Head Coach Will Christian on Powerless Yet Unstoppable with Dave and Rebecca x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

With a lot more free time this summer & no one holding you accountable, it’s you vs. yourself. Will you make all kinds of excuses & talk yourself out of improving? How much better will you become? Only you know the answer to that, but when the season rolls around, everyone knows!

PLAYERS: Making excuses about why you aren't in the gym, the weight room, or at training sessions usually leads to bad habits. These bad habits will be the same ones that lead you to make excuses during the season as to why you are underperforming.

This won’t be a popular tweet but oh well…. You SAY you want to play ⚾️ at the highest level possible BUT: *you only work when there are mandatory team events. *you miss games/practices for vacations. *you don’t get enough sleep. *you don’t spend 3-5 days in the weight room.

HARD TRUTH VERY FEW PLAYERS ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT: YOUR development is YOUR responsibility! YOUR opportunities come from YOUR actions! YOUR choices determine YOUR labels! YOUR rate of improvement comes from the consistency of YOUR work! It’s on YOU - no one else!

Real discipline is remembering what’s important. On your best days you’re committed to your sport. On your good days you’re committed to your teammates. On your worst days you must remain committed to yourself/your commitment. It’s not easy, but then again, discipline rarely is!

That's our PG! #TimetoRise⌚⬆️🏀⛹️‍♀️🐴📈

Smaller schools: The weight room is a BONUS - it sets your team apart from other smaller schools that do not get stronger Big schools: The weight room is THE PRICE OF ADMISSION - If your kids aren’t strong, they get physically dominated & hurt more often Bottom Line: LIFT!🏋🏽‍♀️

Michael Jordan said, "Failure gave me strength. Pain was my motivation." Mentally tough people persevere. They know that mental toughness is not a talent, but a skill to develop. It requires a willingness to push beyond your current limits. His trainer Tim Grover said,

If you’re a coach who influences kids not to play another sport at the high school level, shame on you!

“There is no model for success in this – it’s about your kid.   A parent cannot make a pro athlete, the kid has to want it.   Try asking them how they are doing rather than how they are playing.  It’s not about you, it’s about your kid.” Jay Bilas
