Players: Coaches find out who really likes the game when they open the gym & see who comes in. They find out who really loves the game when they see what players do with their time in the gym. Anyone can go and be in the gym, but the very best use their time for purposeful work!

DePauw University Senior Brad Stevens on Leadership (1999) ⤵️ “No matter what your age is - you can always find a way to take a leadership role..... whether it’s just displaying a positive attitude or just rooting for somebody else.” 📽 DePauw University Video - Ken Owen

At the most fundamental level, each of us only has control over 2 things – our attitude and our effort. Those are the only two things we have 100% control over, 100% of the time. And any time spent focused or worried about something outside of our control… is a waste.

Holy Tuesday: Let us remind ourselves, our teammates & our fellow coaches to offer up sufferings, injuries, losses, disappointments, bad calls, mistakes, exhaustion, soreness, heat, cold, snow, rain ... for the good of souls ... just like Jesus offered up His Passion for us.

We mourn the loss of our likely most-well-known alumnus, John MacLeod, Class of 1955. A true Pioneer in every sense of the word. Rest in Peace, John.

Please keep Coach Byrne in your prayers as he lost his grandfather today.

AAU PLAYERS: Don't worry about exposure. Instead, focus on developing your game so you don't get exposed.

Players: Believing in yourself is arguably the most important requirement for success! Confidence built through putting in a ton of work, being able to handle criticism, accept coaching & learning to fight through adversity helps you become mentally strong & inspires you to grow.

My priority is to be a present, loving, and supportive father. My responsibility is to raise well-adjusted, self-aware, and confident children that grow up to have high character and integrity, and make a positive contribution to the world. Read more: buff.ly/2HrKICj

Leaders run the locker room. They organize extra shooting, pick-up games and lifting sessions. They are on a mission to help maximize their team’s potential.

No better camps out there for serious players looking to improve both on and off the court!

Thanks to all of the coaches, players and parents for their work this year with our many Academy teams. They definitely help fill a systematic void that will help pay dividends down the road! #PTR

Players: Sports are mentally/physically/emotionally tough, but it can teach you life lessons that you can use regardless of what you do in the future. Grit, discipline, sacrifice, overcoming adversity & strengthening character are just the beginning of where sports can take you!
