The best thing a player can do to make coaches appreciate them is to sincerely want to learn and have a thirst from knowledge. All truly great players have this. They know it is impossible to learn it all, but they try anyways.
This weekend I had the opportunity to work with some of the top high school girls in the country at Kelvin Powell and Ganon Baker’s Skills Select Exposure Event in Atlanta, GA. This is the 2nd year in a row I have worked the event and it doesn’t get much better. There were hundreds of NCAA DI college programs coming to check out the girls as they drilled and competed in the weekend event. Even though some of them had already committed to high-major programs (Camille Glymph-Auburn, Brittany Shine-Florida) they were there to learn what their game needed to get to the next level. Coach, what can I do to space the floor out better? Coach, let’s go get some shots up in between skills sessions and game play. No matter how good you think you are you can always get better!
