16.01.2022 Awesome night of tennis at Grantham Reserve with the teenagers

16.01.2022 One of the hardest parts of sports is handling losing streaks! It's so hard to quantify the effect that one basket, one goal, one score, and one point can have ...on the players, the coaches, and the whole team. We have had games where we played really solid and just didn't make enough shots and lost. We have played games where we played terrible and won. Usually, the locker room after wins and practice the day after wins are so much happier than after losses, no matter how we played. There is a quote that says, "Winning heals everything." No matter how much we tell ourselves that the process is what matters, and play the game - not the scoreboard, and other great quotes that focus on how we play and not the outcome, at the end of the day, winning sure does cure a lot. But sports are a lot about managing moments, and we have to be able to manage, learn from, move on from losses. Cole Anthony just got drafted by the Orlando Magic in the NBA. He went to North Carolina last year, and he came in as one of the highest recruits in the country. It looked like a perfect match - Anthony is a known winner and a high profile athlete, and UNC is one of the best basketball programs in the history of college basketball. But his year was not what many expected. He spent a lot of time out with injury, and when he did return, his team struggled to find wins down the stretch. Here is a great video documenting his year at UNC: https://youtu.be/yUfRv8g7ir0 Legendary coach Roy Williams gave this quote about adversity in the video: "What you can take from adversity is just how to handle it. And that is the way it is in life. When you face adversity, you can't just roll up into a fetal position and go into a corner and start crying - you have to come to play, and you have to try to get better every single day." Cole talked about playing harder and playing better when things aren't going well, and the importance of keeping hope. Cole Anthony's father, former NBA player Greg Anthony, said that this was one of Cole's toughest seasons because it was the first time that he had to deal with collective and individual disappointment. He said that losing can be frustrating and it can take a toll. But he also said that he wouldn't want his son to go through this adversity with any other program. Losing can be tough. Adversity can be tough. Be we have to fight through it all. If we do, we will be better athletes and better people. Read more here: http://acoachsdiary.blogspot.com//dealing-with-adversity-c

11.01.2022 One of your most important 'abilities' is your ability to be coached. "How well can you take in, learn, and apply new information?" The better you are at that, ...the more skills that you can add to your game, the better the player you can be. Every practice we teach and learn. The goal is to learn it so well that the next practice, we can build on what we learned. It's like climbing a ladder. We start at the bottom, and every time we learn something new, we take one step up the ladder. The only way we can move up is by learning, applying, and remembering that information. If we can't remember or apply it, we are stuck at the same level. Keep climbing the ladder of learning, and you will keep climbing the ladder of success. But it starts with listening, learning, and knowing that you don't know everything. https://acoachsdiary.blogspot.com/2020//be-coach-able.html
