Conditioning is important.
Exhausted players commit dumb fouls, take dumb shots, miss rotations, fail to box out.

"Body language screams for everybody to see.
In most cases, it's an immaturity thing.
But, the second part of it is- a lack of mental toughness.
My point to them is- how we think and act has to change if you want how we are playing to change." @CoachCalArk

You showed up on time or you didn't.
You did the workout or you didn't.
You respected your teammate or you didn't.
You listened to your coach or you didn't.
You met our standard or you didn't.
You made the play or you didn't.
YOU EITHER DID OR YOU DIDN'T
NO EXCUSES

PLAYERS: Your body language conveys a message to your teammates and coaches. It can show others what kind of attitude, energy, toughness, focus, unselfishness, and maturity you possess. Your body language never whispers ... it screams!

Peyton Manning said, "I am a huge believer in being coached."
Great Players are Coachable.
What does Coachability look like?
Here are 7 Ways Players Show Coachability.
1. Respect Coaching: Respect is fundamental to coachability. Players who respect their coach's authority and experience are willing to learn and trust the coach's guidance and feedback.
2. Be Open to Feedback: Coachable players welcome constructive criticism and use it for improvement. They don't take feedback personally; they see it as valuable information to enhance their skills.
3. Implement the Feedback: Coachable players take the feedback they receive and actively work to apply it in their practice and performance. They're proactive in making the necessary adjustments based on the coach's guidance.
4. Adapt or Die: A great phrase from the book, "Who Moved the Cheese." Coachable players are flexible and open to trying new techniques or strategies the coach suggests. They understand that adaptation is essential for growth and success in their sport.
5. Active Listener: Coachable players pay close attention to their coach's instructions and feedback. They listen attentively, demonstrating respect for the coach's expertise and a willingness to learn.
6. Positive Attitude: Coachable athletes maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude. They approach practices and games with a willingness to learn, even when faced with challenges, and they inspire their teammates with dedication.
7. Growth Mindset: We can all either have a growth or fixed mindset. Coachable athletes must have a growth mindset. They understand their skills can always improve.
