GET THE RIGHT GUYS ON THE BUS! "Mediocre people don’t like high achievers and high achievers don’t like mediocre people ... Get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats, and get the wrong guys off the bus." ~ Nick Saban video from The Crimson White

KELVIN SAMPSON ON BAD SHOOTERS “A lot of times people lie to a kid: 'You're a good shooter. Keep shooting.' 'No, you're not. Don't.' 'Well, you're hurting his confidence.' "I don't want to build a bad shooter's confidence up." ~ from Kris M Gardner

Q: What advice would you give to a parent who thinks their kid plays for a bad coach? Bill Self:

Zone set from Kingfisher. They do a great job of screening the zone in multiple ways.

Don't be fooled. School Choice is NOT Family Choice. Here's the difference... #BarkingChihuahua

Yessir!! Way to go Zach!!

During your season be sure to stay in the weight room. Less than 10% of HS teams continue to strength train during their season. It’s such an important aspect, but overlooked by most. It helps to limit injuries, increases strength & builds confidence! Get in, get better, get out!

One of the biggest weaknesses in high school & college athletes is their diet. If you want to gain weight & build muscle, you better start eating intentionally. Food is fuel. You can’t eat like a bird if you want to play like a bull! Training & rest is key, but nutrition is king!

Your coaches are watching you every day. This off-season will tell them a lot about who’s committed to improving/growing/working hard & who’s only interested when it’s convenient for them. There’re no secrets. You can & will only be great at what you’re willing to sacrifice for!

Terry Francona's Team Rules: 1. Be Reliable "Show up on time." 2. Be Respectful "Respect each other and the game." 3. Be a Grinder "Bring energy and effort every single day." 4. Be a Great Teammate "Play for each other and put the team first."

OLD SCHOOL OFFENSE! Neal Cobleigh knows this one well. The Reverse Action was invented by the legend Pete Newell and ran by Bobby Knight as a predecessor to his famed motion offense. Check it out!

Tom Izzo x Nick Saban on accountability:

Your coaches will watch you this off season. It tells them a lot about who’s committed to improving & who’s only interested when it’s convenient. No secrets & no shortcuts. You can only improve when you understand that every practice, exercise, drill, workout, day, etc, matters!

If you only get in the gym this off season during your required high school or AAU team practice you have very little chance to have a future in basketball. It takes what it takes... improvement in skill development, decision making, fitness level & expanding your basketball IQ!

In 2023, 11 coaches won #OKPreps State Championships in multiple sports, boys and girls same sport counts as multiple. One coach won three! Can you name the coaches, sports and school?

This right here is on point! 💯💯

Coaching is more enjoyable when you get along with the other sport coaches at your school. Support them, share facilities cordially, be friendly, go to their games, and help them any way you can. Share athletes and encourage multi-sport participation in high school. Ultimately,

Great leaders set the tone. #DailyWisdom via @BallIsPsych
