WHEN YOUR "A" GAME ISN'T ENOUGH

Have you ever heard people say, ‘they brought their A game?’ Or maybe a coach will say, ‘you need to bring your A game?’ Better yet, someone in the losing locker-room explaining to a reporter, ‘we just didn’t bring our A game.’

To me, that’s all wrong. You need to bring something stronger. Something much better. Something that gives you a better chance of winning. How about your A+ game!

Yes I know, it sounds funny, but in big games, your A game will not cut it. Playing against weaker teams, your A game will help you win, but against good teams, you’re A game will only help keep you close. In order to win the really big games, you need to bring your A+ game.

We are no longer the hunter… we have become the hunted.

Every possession matters. Every shot, every pass and every rebound…matters! Each time you step onto the court, we must play with energy, defend and take care of the ball.

Your A game isn’t going to be enough… step up and bring your A+ game!
