CAPTAINS: The most important person you should lead is YOU. You have to lead yourself positively before you can ever expect to lead anyone else. Don't expect others to follow your lead if you're not doing what you're supposed to do. Be an example to your teammates.

Stan Van Gundy said something crucial for players at all levels. Every team has 2-3 players whose job is to score. Playing Time & Value = How you can impact winning & excel in your Role. HS Recruits: Coaches evaluate how you can help them win, not if you can score 30 on 20+ shots

High school players, if you aren’t attacking the weight room, getting your conditioning in, and your skills at game speed. What are you doing!? The off-season/summer is where you make leaps. Forget the politics side of it. Go be a dawg. The blueprint is not crazy.
