DO YOU OWN YOUR TEAMMATES?

When talking with players from other teams and asking how their season went, the vast majority of them tell me how their coach isn't very good or how their teammates don't care.

How no one is as committed as they are. How their bigs won't rebound or how their point guard won't pass to them. How their team doesn't emphasize defense.... the excuses go on forever.

Then I ask the million dollar question... "what did you do in practice everyday to change the situation?"

What most fail to realize is that you must take ownership of your team. You are responsible for every practice and every drill.

Special players will not allow a teammate to do something incorrect over and over again throughout the season. Leaders that take ownership, usually end up as champions.
