Amidst your busy lives at home, school, and after school, think about the book you're reading, Beyond Basketball.
The book explores words associated with coaching and playing. These words always have meaning.
One of the words is CARE. Coach Mike Krzyzewski describes a visit from several players after his hip surgery. The coach tells his players that Duke will have a successful season...and asks "do you believe it?"
Player Chris Carrawell says, "Coach, if you say it, I believe it." Coach K says that is one of the greatest things a player has ever told him.
When a coach tells me, "if we play our best, we can beat anybody," I believe that.
As a player, trust the process and trust your coaches when they say every game is a "winnable game." That implies playing well.
Coach Scott Celli's three keys to winning have always included:
- Talent
- Health
- Luck
