Kobe was asked: โ€œYou are the best player in the world. Why would you spend 2 hours on some fundamental drills and do them over and over again?โ€ He responded: โ€œWhy do you think Iโ€™m the best player in the world?โ€ *Fundamentals are EVERYTHING!! ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Players, As hard as we are on you, we are much harder on ourselves. We are constantly trying to adjust and figure you out. Often wondering โ€œwas I too hard on her today?โ€ Or โ€œcould I handle that better?โ€ We are not perfect, yet we are always trying to chase perfection. -Coaches

When you score, you better start pointing. Point to the person who passed you the ball for you to make the shot. Point to the person who set the screen to get you open. Point to the players on the bench for cheering. ...because every point you score belongs to your entire team.

PSA to all players ๐Ÿ—ฃ Your diet will have a HUGE impact on your performance. Eating right & staying hydrated will make a world of difference. Donโ€™t have the mentality โ€œIโ€™m working out daily & burning lots of calories so I can eat whatever I wantโ€. You canโ€™t outwork your diet!

There are two types of players. Ones that get taken out of the game and directly go sit by a coach to hear what they did wrong and how to adjust. Ones that get taken out and go directly to the end of the bench and sulk because they got taken out. Which one are you?

I think the beauty of coaching over playing is that you always have another season. As a player, your time is limited. You only get 4 years of college to figure it out and then itโ€™s over. As a coach, thereโ€™s always another opportunity to be better the next season.
