No Retreat No Surrender

"Make every day your masterpiece." - John Wooden

Advice for tryouts today:

  • Leave an impression. 
  • Bring the best version of yourself. 
  • If you have an error, refocus and make the next play. 
  • Be present. 
  • Listen and be coachable. 
  • Always make THIS PLAY your focus. 
Borrow from The Four Agreements
  • "Be impeccable with your word" to others and to yourself. "I can do this." 
  • "Never make assumptions." The team is not selected. Force your way onto the floor with your attitude, choices, and effort. 
  • "Don't take anything personally." When the coaches correct you, it's not about you, it's a correction that applies to everyone.
  • "Always do your best." It won't be perfect and some days won't be as good as others. But commitment to the process and to full engagement gets the best results. 
Coaches see everything.
