Coaches need competitors. They want players who know how to fight & finish a job! Don’t underestimate how much those things are synonymous with the scoreboard. Coaches looking for talent want a champion mindset. Create great habits, make good decisions & perform with excellence!

Seniors: You have one season of HS sports remaining. Please don’t take a single opportunity or day for granted. Work hard. Help others. Be present & live in the moment. Cherish your teammates & coaches. Make memories for a lifetime, because the days will come & go all too soon!

PLAYERS… TUNE IN 🔊 Everything you think you need to do to get recruited is the exact opposite of what coaches look for 🔑 Gotta have talent and be skilled, but the little things and your motor is what separates 📈

If D1 schools aren’t reaching out to you, you may not be a D1 player & that’s ok. Don’t be married to the level. Be married to the right academic fit for you. Stay in the gym. Keep getting better & then use the game to cement your future. College degrees don’t say D1, D2 or D3!

Are you Coachable? - Mediocre players do not want to be coached. - Good players welcome coaching. - Great players seek out coaching. Be Coachable. Be Great!
