Coming and Going

"Leaders make leaders." Leaders came from somewhere and are going somewhere. They get others to say, "I'm leaving on the journey with her."

Add value. Value arises in skill, game understanding and creativity, physical and emotional growth. Make a mental checklist and get people to follow you. 

• Always be on time. 
• Make teammates better.
• Be coachable.
• Be positive.
• Energize teammates.
• Mentor younger players. 
• Share your knowledge. 
• Practice hard. 
• Follow game flow on the bench.
• Be ready when opportunity comes.
• Support your teammates.
• Be accountable.     

Everyone wants to play more. 

• Ask coaches where you need improvement. 
• Ask what drills or activities can help you improve. 
• Don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses.
