The best advice on how to be successful I’ve heard: On Nick Saban’s radio show, a young athlete asked him a bold question. What advice would the Alabama football coach give him – a basketball player – to improve in his sport? Saban’s response is gold: “I think for any

Coaches aren’t in the business of begging players to get in the gym/go to camps, but if you don’t, then don’t come later looking for playing time. It doesn’t work that way. Players get playing time by earning it. If you don’t earn it, save yourself the trouble of wishing for it!

It's pretty simple. You either want to get better or you don't. Your actions reflect your commitments. You can’t fake that. Do you put your time & effort toward learning, improvement & gain? Or do you use it to make excuses & put things off? Either way, it’ll show when it counts!

Your bench is the ultimate culture check. Amateurs pout on the bench because they only care about personal glory. Pros can’t sit still. They’re too busy celebrating their teammates with genuine joy and excitement. Is your bench bringing the energy or draining it?

PARENTS. Start holding your kids accountable and allow coaches to do their job.

CHOP CHOP WE ARE IN!
