Change

"No progress occurs without change, but not all change is progress." - John Wooden

Where are you now as a player and whom do you want to become? Change requires work. 

Effective coaching requires the ability to project, to see what a player can become. Three factors determine a player's impact - size, athleticism, and skill. For the NBA draft, three factors determine a player's projection - college program, performance at the program, and age at the time of the draft, the younger the better. 

A program's consistency requires constant influx of young talent. But some players who were less impactful as a junior become major contributors as seniors. 


As a junior, Ruth Breen had 31 assists which blossomed to 639 as a senior. Teams flourish according to player development. "Every day is player development day." What are you doing today to improve?
