“Conditioning is both mental and physical.” — @SteveKerr
Being in shape doesn’t just mean you are able to run up and down the floor. You have to be able to think and talk/yell while you play hard.
Great teammates don’t stop talking when they’re tired.

It’s not actually cool to be the athlete that rolls their eyes at the coach, slumps on the bench, doesn’t sit by their teammates or acts like they don’t care....regardless of the caliber of your team or coach, you are the one that looks the worst.

Players: Take note of the people you have around you. Who do you spend your time with? Are they going places or do they encourage you to make excuses? Do they have your best interests in mind or do they sabotage your efforts? Empower yourself by choosing your company wisely.

“Your contribution doesn’t have to
be 25 points. But, it has to be
something & we have to get it.
Your number one contribution is the
energy you bring to what we’re doing.”

Toughness has nothing to do with physical strength and everything to do with mental strength. #GetBetter #Together
If it gets a reaction out of you, then it owns your emotions.
Playing unfazed shows the power you have over your emotions; that’s toughness and maturity.

Players: If you choose to:
-have a bad attitude
-sleep in
-skip workouts/reps
-ignore your priorities
-slack at practice
-hang out more than workout
-put yourself before the team
Don’t blame your coach when you can’t perform & don’t play. You’re responsible for your own choices

“Coaching is about relationships.
When guys or women know that you care about them, that you know what you’re talking about, that you can make them better; they’re going to be more willing to run through a wall for you.”

Notice how Steph said:
“I was thankful enough to get a scholarship to Davidson.”
NOT
“Duke & UNC were sleeping on me.”
You can waste your energy complaining about your circumstances or you can energize yourself with the healthiest emotion; GRATITUDE.

Everybody on our team is responsible for a loose ball.

“Great players and great teams want to be driven.
They want to be pushed to the edge.
They don't want to be cheated.
Ordinary players and average teams want it to be easy.”

You develop poise by treating every practice like it’s a championship game, so when it really is a championship game, you simply have to give the same effort you give every single day.

We’re choosing how we spend our time.
We’re choosing how we treat our bodies.
We’re choosing what we’re doing to get ahead.
