Addition or Subtraction?

Is less more? Sometimes teams derive benefits from subtracting mental and physical errors. Ask how that process occurs. Coaches can be transformational or transactional.

Human performance expert Alistair McCaw totals up how more can be better from his book, "Lead with Purpose." 

  • Practice and play with effort
  • Be intentional (have goals to improve)
  • Bring joy to the court 
Lagniappe. What's the starting frontcourt in September 2026? I don't know. You don't know. Coach Scott Celli doesn't know. Ideally, some of you "kick the door down" and establish the role. 

Blocking is incredibly important and the team has room to grow. If you become a dominant blocker, that can cement a "pin position." 

If you want to earn a front row spot, this video may have your name on it. Even with a good read, lateral quickness matters...meaning both footwork and athleticism.
