IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE 🤩

Received the following text from a college coach today about former players who are currently in their program. That’ll make your day.

Failure is a part of sports and a part of life Everyone fails It’s not the act of failing that hurts you It’s giving up or letting a small failure effect your next move (Via @LeadersJunction 🎥)

Appreciate the NOW. Rick Pitino is spot on. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think. One day, the practices, the games, the grind - it’s all gone. Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity. Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

Ray Lewis said, "That's why kids have a problem finishing things today. Because as soon as they feel a small bit of discomfort...they're gone." "The greatest pain of my life is the reason I'm standing here today." To overcome adversity, you have to be willing to face it.

Watching grassroot basketball for the last month and one thing sticks out to me. Every time somebody makes a three they go into their own celebration. I’ve only seen one guy who points at whoever passed him the ball. This game is about “us” not about “me “ We need to help young people create habits that fit that

When you're in the lab, working on your "bag" this offseason, remember... - 50% of your shots come with no dribble (catch and shoot) - 20% of your shots come with 1 or 2 dribbles. And don't forget, the more dribbles you take, the lower your shooting percentage gets. No Dribbles - 1.19 Points Per Shot 1 Dribble - 1.07 Points Per Shot 2 Dribbles - 0.99 Points Per Shot 3+ Dribbles - 0.98 Points Per Shot With a side note, lay ups are by far the most efficient shots in basketball, so use that dribble to get to the rim if you need to! This data was taken from an 24-25 NBA season. It barely changes season to season.

Page turns tomorrow, but just one final look back. #BFL @865flics
