What is actually a fundamental?
Do we need to teach fundamentals before players play the game?
Must read if you are someone who asks "Is there a better way"
"If you want to play at an excellent level - if you want to do something excellent, you have to be excellent all the time.
That's how you build habits.
When excellence becomes a habit, then that's just who you are." -Kobe Bryant

What is CULTURE?
▪️ Culture is what you Emphasize
▪️ Culture is what you Allow
▪️ Culture is Every Day
CULTURE is created by and defended by Leaders.
Holding others accountable in your CULTURE is your purposeful expression of your desire to WIN. 🏆
Small guards….you CAN make it! But the margin of error is much smaller!
You have to be faster, smarter, more focused, play harder, communicate better, shoot better, defend, and consistently prove it. You cant blend in at all!
Your coach doesn’t want perfection.
Your coach wants effort .. heart .. fire .. grit .. fight .. perseverance .. maturity .. selflessness .. and for you to compete.
Perfection is never attainable.
Control what you can control.
PLAYERS: The summer is one of the most important times when it comes to development. You should be in the gym/ weight room as much as possible working on your body and game. Leave the junk food alone and eat healthy. Lastly, work on becoming more flexible (hips), it’ll help a ton
I wanna coach players who have GRIT!
G - Go a little bit harder, a little bit longer
R - Relentlessly pursue greatness
I - Intentionally look for opportunities to serve others
T - Tough in action, not just speech
9 out of 10 Players don’t know this.
Colleges want your CORE GPA.
Your Core GPA consists of:
• English
• Math
• History
• Science
• Religion
• Foreign Language
Stop putting your cumulative GPA in your profile.
It wastes time.

Point Guards 👀
- Lead A Team
- Push Pace and Tempo
- Go Get The Ball
- Vocal Cadence & Hand Signals
- Pesky On Defense
- Feed The Post
- Ballhandling on a string
- Shooting, Scoring 3 Levels
- Passing PNR, Drive n Kick, Drive and Drop Off / Lob , Houdini Factor
4 Ways for Smaller Guards to help their recruitment…
📌 Great Academics (3.5+ GPA)
📌 Be an elite on-ball defender
📌 Strong leadership skills
📌 Make open 3’s
PLAYERS: Be patient with your recruitment. Understand that everybody’s recruitment is different, don’t compare your recruitment to others. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t have any offers yet or if you only have one offer. All it takes is one offer to change your life forever.
Understand when I’m recruiting , I’m not only interested in what you can offer on the court! How are you in the class room? How are you In practice? What’s your body language like when being coached hard? Are you a team player? Are you a good locker room guy?
What is your Defensive Philosophy?
Ours is developed regarding two key philosophical objectives:
1) Take away Rim & Paint w/o fouling (Defending the Ball 1/1 and setting up Help appropriately).
2) Teach Closing-out like crazy, to accomplish
#1
and effect Three Point Shooting.
GREAT TEAM CULTURES HAVE:
1-Selflessness
2-Agreed upon Values
3-All-in Commitment
4-Teachable Attitudes
5-Zero Entitlement
6-Intense Work-ethic
7-Common Respect
8-Great Communication
9-Unconditional Love
