2021 NECC Tournament Draws

A lot of players hear accountability and they think somebody is trying to blame them. That's not what it's about. Accountability means holding each other to a standard that is crucial to becoming the best you can be, individually and collectively. Jay Bilas on accountability:

Congratulations Alexis German! She is not only a 1,000 point scorer at PHHS, but Lex has signed with Parkland College (Champaign, IL) to continue her basketball and educational experience. athletics.parkland.edu We wish you the best Lex!

Mia Hamm on sports and sports specialization:

This is what James Naismith envisioned when he created basketball.

Players: Employers don’t care what division or sport you played. Who you are is what matters. Do you work hard, love being part of a team, possess leadership skills by serving? Are you kind? Low maintenance? Employers want people who add value without drama. Are you that person?

Tough people don't blame others, they take ownership. Tough people don't complain, they work harder. Tough people don't make excuses, they make it happen. Tough people don't get discouraged, they get better.

Trust is everything. That's what every relationship is based on. Coaches want players they can trust. Players want a coach they can trust. Chris Beard on relationships:

We live in such a result-oriented world. Everything is about results, very little is about the process of what it takes to get the results. Work to be the best you can be at whatever it is you choose to do. Nick Saban on mentality:

It's about being a great teammate and being accountable to one another. It's about preparing the right way and striving to improve every day. It's about being connected and sacrificing in pursuit of greatness. Brad Stevens on team culture:

Because my coach pushed me so hard, it’s now easy for me to remember that I can always dig a little deeper and find some strength in me that I didn’t know I had. Thanks coach.

Average players want to be left alone. Good players want to be coached. Great players want to be told the truth. Kim Mulkey on mindset:

I get upset when they say the coach doesn’t bring out the best in the player. No, the player has to accept coaching and he’s gotta want the best brought out in him. – Sam Mitchell

A few mistakes don't worry me; what worries me is when you make the mistakes and then forget your role on the team and start to worry about your ego. – Digger Phelps
