Training League

Some of the early leagues have started great individual season made teammates better..but a early exit from the playoffs made the season bitter sweet. Lesson taken it's not how you start it's how you finish...!!! Keep your head up , Keep pushing....!!!

Training and School

Training is all important to get ready for the season...the body must be in great shape. And the school and study will keep the mind sharp.

We're Back !!!

Sorry it's been so long...but just to give you and update summer was nice a time to refresh the brain and body spend time with the family !!!!

Long Time Coming

Well we all need a break all season's are over...now it's time for parents and kids to focus on school...while basketball is still important to practice...we have to get away clear our minds and reset!!!! Let's stay positive and work ethic...is a habit now !!!! See ya soon...

Down Time.....!!!

Now is the time of year finishing school strong, planning the training new schedule and the games. Oh yes this is year round....the preparing the training !!!! It's you and your child being more of a team now than ever...Remember they are the player and you are the coach !!!

All -Star Success

After a successful team season ...the move now is on to all-stars. On such a team unselfishness is key....put what you preached to use..TEAM...UNSELFISHNESS are KEY !!! Win these two things are used together.. the end result is satisfying and rewarding !!!!

Keep on keeping on

Late night of workouts...early studying decision time to better yourself on and off the court. But practice and preparation for both gets you ready for success....Study , shots, tests, games...practice..relax...stay in shape on and off the court...only time will tell stay upbeat and you are a TEAM !!!!

Back to Back

After a successful team season...the reward was winning the championship. This wipes out all the trials the obstacles that were in front of you as a team. Individual success is great but team success is even better...now time to prepare for next season....LET'S GO !!!!!

Refreshed

It's post season time in the home stretch ....it's time to get excited get prepared to bring home the big prize...the all stars selections have been made. Some seasons are over some have just begun, on your mark , ready set let's go !!!!!

Post Season

Post season is what you worked for the whole summer and fall. Being ready involves mental preparation as well as physical. The excitement will have you on edge which is great you get excited this means you still love what you do...channel this energy to prepare yourself to become more focused. Buckle up ...hang on because you are in for a heck of a ride !!!!

Disappointment of being upset

Communication is key .....sometimes it is even more vital off the court as on the court. Parents and children must be on the same page. As well as the rest of the team to be successful...if not a lapse in this area can waste a whole season. Keep lines of communication open at all times check and double check...stay on the same page...It is impossible to do if you're reading a different book ?

Everlasting Trip

After a long out of state trip for basketball...it's time to get the focus back in school. The brain needs to be trained just like the body. After the storm has settled refocus and reload....start over with the bad. Keep the good things rolling !!!!

Tough times don't last tough people do !!!

In life on or off the court...things will not always go your way. Even when they don't stay with it and stay focused..don't quit practing and don't quit studying as a parent and child of a future baller...You will get out of it...what you put into it....Stay Stong !!!

Average is easy

Some lessons you have to learn on and off the court is being average is easy ! Becoming great is hard...staying great is even harder !!!! If that wasn't true everyone would be GREAT ! So focus and dedication is so important...Stay True !!!

Notice Improvement ?

Yes you will start to notice improvement...it comes with time. Like they say Rome wasn't built in a day !!! So true at time we all want fast food results. But remember fast food only feels you up for a short period of time. It's the meals that you prepared and took your time with that are good for you and you most importanly remember. Apply this to basketball as well as life and the results will start to show IMPROVEMENT !

New Week Work Week Staying Postive

New week Improve off the old it may sound like a broken record. But just like in practice learn..and improve take those mistakes and flip them into a positive.

Being Prepared Is also a daily job

Being prepared is just as important as performing you can't perform without  being prepared. You also have to make sure your child is prepared off the court also. In school ,life etc...if you continue to prepare them in these aspects it will shine through on the court also...

Off Days and back into the swing of things

Days off are good for the mind and body and can most importantly benefits you and your child to have time to his or her self. Now after getting a couple of days off getting back into the swing of things should be exciting because if you really love something you will miss it...so getting back into is just like riding a bike...

The weekend after

Sometimes basketball is just like life you win some and you lose some....but it's how you improve from the failures that make you a better person and player...

Friday Pre-Game

Friday's prepare you for the weekend. The tournaments and what else better to get you ready and excited than a successful week. Stay upbeat and ready to play at all times throughout the ups and downs.

THE WEEKEND IS HERE !!!!

Paying Off

Wednesday night's game was a result of hard work..started the game off losing. Fought back with hard work and defense and won by 20 !!! Just like studying memorization ...use that memory muscle on and off the court.

Tuesday and Hoopday Wednesday

Tuesday night was a fun game...to relax and work on things that you practice. It's very important to have games like this. Fun for you to watch (as they all should be maybe not as intense as the other's or as serious) Wednesday a serious game getting ready eating right, getting rest...now let's go out and get it !!!!

EveryBody loves Monday's

Monday is a fresh start at school and on the court. Game today yes, test today yes...success on both ? Yet to be determined...but that's what we work for right ? Let's get off to a get week by....practice awesome study habits and staying positive !!!!

Tournament Winner !!!

A successful weekend, all games were won. Some became emotional with players parents and even coaches. Results 3 out of 4 games were won, still some tension between players ,  bad calls made and coaches and players. This weekend proved no one is perfect everyone gets upset. In the end we have to remember it is just a game it is our job as parent's to keep this in perspective. It is awesome to love and be passionate but remember the child is most important in this equation.

OFF Night

Last night was a body rest night and school work study night...prepare for the weekend the physical grind..as a parent we must be ready for the physical grind also. Remember practice makes perfect !

Game Winner

Early work put in the week has paid off....improvement in school and on the court are showing at a rapid pace. Awesome results , last second shot the team won...even if it wasn't your child that didn't hit the game winner it still feels good to see success and happiness on and off the court.

What time is it ? Game time !!

Tuesday is game day always be mentally physically and most importantly excited about playing. As parents support is even more important on gameday's. So step up to the plate and help this future all-star out !!!!

Back on Track

The week begins with another game to keep the skills fine tuned...hopefully the practice and concentration will show during the games. Every game should be something good that happened that you continue to grow on and something not so good to learn from and improve on !!!

New New New

The start of a week is a fresh new start learn from the negative things, build off the positive. Again school and family are most important. The week begins with letting the body re-coup maybe some light training and make sure you get back on the right eating patterns. Mental rest is just important as physical rest...as the week starts let the games began....!!!!!

Weekend Results

Saturday was awesome....had a dominant game...team won...came back from 20 pts down..Sunday won one lost one more to come...! The practice put in this week showed during the weekend games..always continue to work hard and stay positive...it will pay off..you get out of it what you put into it !!!

Tournament Day

The week leads up to this...the school work ,training , practice games. Getting ready for the travel tournaments. As a parent be supportive and keep it fun for the child. They are ready and will continue to be as long as parents just like everything in we prepare. Be excited for them and it will rub off in the game as well !!!!

Double OT

Last night was a schedule of mostly school work and preparing for Friday test. In between school preparation time there is still time to train the body also...with strength training no weights involved of course....push-ups , sit-ups..squats etc..all body weights no free weights at all...

Training Day

After another day of school some test and good results, another game was played. Not the best competition but it is a way to stay in shape and keep the basketball mind sharp. Today is a day to focus on skill work and rest the body...

The In Between

The down time in this journey away from the court involves ...being the love and support that your child needs. I know this is an everyday all day occurrence..but this particular time should be the TLC time..so you can have a break from checking on the school work and the transportation to and from practice. This could be the most important ingredient in success...

Morning After

It's very important the night after a game to especially after a good game. Make sure to continue the next day the same work ethic and preparation that lead you to that good game. In others just like in school no slacking...stay with it...build off success don't go backwards !!!!

Game Night

Again just like going to school everyday to become smarter...you have to play in games a few times a week also...Last night for my son was game night..to practice his craft. Only allowed to play in this after receiving great test scores from school that day. This is again one of those situations where school can be used as leverage to excel both on and off the court.

EAT RIGHT EVERYDAY

Did you feed your child today ? With basketball and school is the same..did you make sure they study today ? Did you do some type of practice to perfect your skill....?

Like a newborn baby

Bringing up a child that wants to be great at something takes dedication from the parents also..think about it...a baby can't eat..feed itself or make money to provide for him or herself..just like a future baller they need help being raised also...
