When you get to college no one cares about your stars, offers, rankings or high school stats. There will be no more graphics, letters, calls or text. The only thing that matters is your level of production. If you want to eat, you have to go hunt!
Unsigned Seniors 2020 .... Many WBB coaches from all levels follow this Twitter account. Post your film, HS, height, position, season stats and test scores in this thread or tag me. So I retweet it during this DEAD period.
Never be ashamed, embarrassed or afraid to be the only one doing something if it’s the right thing to do. You don’t have to compromise your integrity to fit in.

If you love sports but you've limited yourself to watching men’s games, you're missing out on a lot. We need more and better coverage of women playing sports. # via

Wake UP ... These People ranking kids they can’t pull out of lineup if they was right in front of them. They just ranking the kids that play for they friends programs.
Never be embarrassed by failure. I’ve come up short just as many times as I’ve succeeded, but you would never know because I’ve always refused to stop trying. The opinion of others should never impact your desire to succeed.

Athletic ability opens doors that will one day close. Academic excellence gives you the power to open your own doors and keep them open indefinitely. Don’t allow your physical ability to cause you to take your long term power for granted.

Prospects regardless of what you’re told during the recruiting process, how many stars or offers you have the first day of practice in college you’re going to be at the back of the line with all of the other freshman and you’ll have to work your way up the depth chart.

It doesn’t matter how many ⭐️ you had, how many offers you had, or what you were ranked in HS once you get to college. All that matters is how you compete, perform and produce.

Coaching is a tough profession. It can cost you friends, family, relationships and even your sanity if you lose sight of it’s true purpose. Every day a coach has a chance to impact someone’s life. Regardless of a score or record everyday should be a win.
The one thing COVID has exposed in New York. Is if you don’t have money you can’t play BASKETBALL (Period). I’ve been saying this for past 7 years. Gentrification of 🏀. How do we make this better?
Dear prospect:
These are the shooting numbers we need to be talking about at the end of the HS season 50% FG, 40% 3-FG, 80% FT.. These numbers dont lie. Never heard a coach say "I dont like her she shoots it way to good for me; i'll pass of offering her".
Prospects if you aspire to go to college, it’s important to have good relationships with your high school coaches. Regardless of who you train with, play AAU with or seek advice from most college coaches are going to consult with your high school coaches about you.

Everyone on a team can’t start, everyone can’t touch the ball every play, everyone can’t get the same amount of minutes, but everyone can carry and conduct themselves like a Caption at all times.

One of the scariest, most gratifying or humbling moments of your life will be the day you wear a sports uniform for the last time It all depends on what you’ve done to prepare yourself for life after the game.

Take the time to show appreciation to someone who has helped you to get to where you are today. Don’t wait until they’re ill or gone to express how grateful you are to them. “Give the special people in your life flowers while they can still smell and enjoy them.” 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣
We have to stop lying to these kids. Everyone’s not getting a scholarship. It’s your right to go to college, but it’s a privilege to play on a college basketball team. D1 D2 D3 NAIA & JUCO.
Whether you like yours or not, everyone has a role on a team in a program or organization. You can’t expect to get the role you want if you don’t take pride in and put your all into the role you have.

Those who always seek attention or want recognition will always struggle to grind when there’s no audience to workout or perform for. The True test of commitment is what you do when no one else is watching.

Does not matter what sneaker you wear, how tall or short you are, how old you are, what part of the country your from or what system to run... The main objective in this game is to make this happen & stop the opposition from doing this.

she helped PVI secure the win verses a talented Manasquan team. 39 points.
Just because you don’t score all the points don’t mean you not best player & most important player on a roster. Tell your coach let me 🔒 her / him up, bring energy & Hype your teammates up put 🔋 in they back. PROMISSE TOU COACH WILL FIND MINUTES FOR U.
What I ❤️ most about NY not all these players are ranked ... you can’t evaluate heart & work ethic. S/O to the school visiting NY open gyms and only going to schools with ranked players. In two years you will regret it.

One of the worst things U can do is listen to those on the outside looking in telling U how things should work on the inside. Those who tell U that U should have a bigger role have no idea or clue of your commitment and work ethic.

A coach should never make the mistake of coaching just his or her starters because we never know who or how many in your meeting room is a play or injury away from being a starter.

Food for thought: Everyone talks about having a program AAU, HS & College. But to me the first sign of it really being a program has nothing to do with fancy marketing props. Do the ALUMI base come back. If they don’t come back beware... More of a team than Program.
A title or position doesn’t make you a good leader. Your ability to reach, teach, motivate, influence and inspire others makes you a good leader.
