Tunnel Vision

Continue to see your goals continue to believe in yourself work as a team parents and children ...coaches at times will be part of this but family will always be a part of this and will continue to be positive or negative influences ....its all about what tunnel vision you have for your goals !

Concentration

This applies to all facets of being a student athlete and a parent to help with this process...keeping goals in front of you and concentrating on reaching them...practice and games and school along with believe in what you are doing  ! 

Keep Dreaming

Don't stop dreaming but keep working toward it also...continue to work towards it use your dream as motivation to work...most people dream without the work ....the dream should be fuel to work..!

Fatigue

FATIGUE ! mental fatigue is more of a drain than physical fatigue...So both the kids and the parents suffer from fatigue whether it's travel politics etc....but keep grinding focus on the light at the end of the tunnel...it is worth it ! Block out the white noise..

Maintain

In life and sports you have to maintain ...whether it's practice or studying and repetition to be successful. Success doesn't come easy nor does it come without sacrifice....this is the most difficult part of being successful even more so in basketball...even if you have natural talent...after awhile if you don't work hard you will be caught or stuck in neutral ? 

Basketball Practice

Don't get lazy ......parents included meaning if you get lazy the kids get lazy if don't feel driving to practice the kids won't practice. Just like studying make your kids study and go with them to practice let them know practice isn't punishment it's to get better and teach you to never quit and work hard !

Daydreaming

When chasing the dream you have to block out the white noise ...internet...camp invites..individual awards...will all come in due time if you work hard improve your game...IMPROVE YOUR GAME ! 

Everyday dreaming

High school was a lot fun at the same time we will keep it honest on this blog ...skill...size...I.Q. things of that nature are needed to  become a college level basketball player. And those things are important just to name a few but now one thing that controls high school basketball that should not is POLITICS ! Unfortunately its here to stay ! Lets discuss how and if you can handle this element !
