RULE #1

Came across a quote this morning that every successful athlete adheres to.  "Know who you are and what your game is."

On the surface, it sounds simple - right?  But the average player doesn't really understand that concept.

I've watched several of the boys varsity practices over the past couple of weeks and I see the exact opposite happening.  I see players trying to impress each other or the coaches by attempting some kind of wild acrobatic move to the basket, or some off-balance fade-away shot that rarely ends in success.  

What most of those players are really doing is showing everyone in the gym WHAT THEY CAN'T DO!  

Know your game - take advantage of your strengths.
