Big Week!

Friends,
 We are looking forward to a big week with two varsity and JV games to play.
As we head to holiday break, I thought this post is a great reminder on ways to maximize practice time.

Thanks to Alan Stein at www.strongerteam.com for sharing.

8 Things PLAYERS should do to maximize every practice:

1) Be well fueled, well hydrated, well rested, and take care of your body.   

2) Get to practice early. Don't wait for practice to start, prepare for it. Making 100 extra shots before every practice will have an enormous compound effect over the course of the season.

3) Approach practice with a 'game like' mentality. After all, how you do anything is how you do everything. Want to play well in games? Then practice well every day.

4) Listen with your eyes. Your coach won't say it if it's not important. Absorb everything your coaching staff and teammates say by having great eye contact.

5) Leave your comfort zone every practice. Leave it mentally. Leave it physically. Leave it emotionally. You should be drained at the end of every practice. Leave it on the floor!

6) Make your enthusiasm contagious. Raise the level of those around you with constant energy. Be vocal.

7) Be a 'Glue Guy' (or 'Glue Girl'). By definition, glue binds and holds things together. Be the glue on your team.

8) Value the ball for the entire practice. Every drill. Every scrimmage. Every play. Don't take bad shots or make sloppy passes.

Game Week!

We hope that everyone enjoyed the time spent with friends and family over the Thanksgiving holiday.  We had solid practice and scrimmage sessions this weekend and are looking forward to opening up on the road this Thursday at The George School.

In the spirit of giving thanks, we have charged the students in our program to make a positive impact in any way they can, no matter how small they feel the deed.  Checkout this story about "The Starfish"...

A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,“Well, I made a difference to that one!”


Below is the schedule for the week.  Make it a great one!
