One of the things every coach has to hear about each season (especially from parents) is complaints about the lack of playing time. One of the things parents don’t seem to understand is that playing time is determined not by the coach… but by the players themselves.
For example, let’s say there are two players that will be competing for the same minutes when the season starts. Player #1 spent about 3 hours per month over the summer working on their game (about 9 total hours). Player #2 spent about 3 hours per week working on their game (about 40 total hours).
Once the season starts, which player will likely look sharper and show more consistency?
With the season just 8-10 weeks away, there is still time for you to sharpen your skills. If you spend about 3 hours per week working on your handles and your shot, you’ll make yourself look sharper and show more consistency than your teammates that aren’t preparing.
Be the player your coach can’t help but notice.
