1. COACHES WANT TO WIN 

This is an important truth for players to understand. ALL COACHES want to win. Even rec league coaches want to win. When a rec coach substitutes  the better players play more and the lesser players play less. Or maybe the rec coach mixes lineups that gives the team the best chance to win. When playing TRUE competitive sports  playing time will be directly proportional to your ability to help your team win. It’s really THAT simple. Show your coach you can help the team win and you will play.

2. THE BEST PLAYERS PLAY 

The coach wants to win so the players who give the team the best chance to win will play. When we refer to BEST PLAYERS we are talking about MVP & All-Star level players. If you are not an MVP or All-Star level player you are a ROLE player and  playing time will be determined by game situations and coaching decisions. Players often question why they don’t get more playing time and the answer is simple….YOU’RE A ROLE PLAYER!!

3. IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST PLAYER YOU MUST PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN 

This is the most important truth your player needs to understand to be successful. Most players do what they are REQUIRED to do by the coach and no more. Some players put in  little extra work to sharpen their skills. The BEST PLAYERS do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get better …..Strength & conditioning….skills…IQ.. 

They are obsessed with maximizing their abilities and being totally prepared to perform when called upon. They earn the trust of the coach & teammates and help their team win games. They don’t have to worry about DADDY BALL or be taken out of the game for one mistake. The coach gives them a longer leash because they have PROVEN themselves.
