Coaches Corner

116 days until the high school basketball season begins. AAU season is over. Now comes the part that separates players.

What are you going to do with the next 116 days?

This is where players either level up or lose everything they gained over the last three months. The best time to improve isn't by doing what you're already good at. It's by attacking the weaknesses that make you uncomfortable.

It takes a different mentality to walk into the gym every day and struggle. To miss shots. To fumble the ball. To fail repeatedly while working on something you're not good at.

That's called growth.

Comfort never made anyone a better basketball player.

Don't waste these next four months doing nothing, then wonder why your playing time didn't increase, why your role didn't change, or why the recognition never came.

You can't make a withdrawal on deposits you never made. The work you put in today determines the opportunities you earn tomorrow.

The question is simple: What will you do with the next 116 days?

I love yall!

Working with these kids in aau is interesting because you got guys that play jv or varsity in our area that dont know spots on the floor, universal terminology, basic concepts. Im so confused at what is going on at practice especially at the JV level since the wins dont count. Where is the disconnect? Coaches is this something that's taught yearly as a refresher? Wondering what's the development side and how can we fix this. Certain things should be a must I would think.

The portal chatter is crazy and just got even more wild with the last update. Its some new coaches landing places and portal talk going wild may the recruiting be with you 😆😆😆

Side note: No its not a real portal we just playing on the college pattern but talks of player movement is alive and well.

Niagara Falls is back in the NFL this upcoming season. So with 9 teams that's 16 league games. Welcome back fellas those other 4 games I would assume is Joe's, Canisius, Health, and a state champ from some where.

Will Falls knock off the dominance of Grand Island from the last 2 yrs? Offseason heating up and portal has been crazy with chatter.
