PGC Basketball

When you’re on the bench, gather information! Most players sit & wait to get back into the game. Instead of waiting & resting, be learning – about the person you’re guarding, about the tendencies of the other team, about how to gain advantages when you go back in.

Every summer, tens of thousands of players across North America get the privilege to attend a basketball camp to improve their skills and have fun…

My encouragement to you today is this… Obviously this pandemic has gone on and on and on, and no matter what you’ve been going through, I want you to know that there are not just tens of thousands, there are millions of people…

Reacting to calls is not competitiveness, it’s weakness. Instead, take pride in deciding for yourself — in advance — how you’ll respond when things don’t go your way. We don’t want reactions, we want responses.

It’s nighttime here and if you haven’t watched last week’s Monday Mindset, this video is not going to make sense, so go back and watch last week’s Monday Mindset called Keep Digging.

Beware of “great plays.” Great plays, or the attempt to make great plays, are what make good players mediocre. Ignore fancy and value fundamental. Make the smart play, not the hard one. Don’t go crazy when simple will work just fine.

So I don’t have a good news story…yet. And yet can be a powerful word when you need to exhibit resilience or grit in whatever it is in your life. Whatever it is in life, when things get tough, you got to build that grit and resilience muscle like I’m doing right now.

I’ve been coaching in some capacity (various sports and levels) since 1996 and have been teaching and coaching since 2005. I was drawn to PGC because of the culture. The basketball stuff is amazing, but it’s the leadership and mentality training that’s truly impacted my life (and those around me).
