Happy Friday IG/Hoopers! It seems like everyone has been anticipating Friday since Monday, so I hope you have something good/productive/fun to do today! For my hoopers (and everyone, really), let’s be a good teammate this weekend. Just try it out, and see how you like it. Let’s be encouraging. Let’s be helpful. Let’s lead by example. If everyone was a good teammate, how much better would that be for YOU?

There are a lot of successful hoopers out there that will genuinely say that they owe it to their teammate. I’m not talking about when someone wins the MVP award and it’s the politically correct thing to say. I’m talking about when you know you need to put up 1,000 shots a day, who is there for you? When you need to work on your defense, agility or explosion, who is there for you? When you need to get your strength up or your conditioning better, who is there spotting you or timing you? THAT kind of teammate!! Yea, you have to be a good teammate on the court, be in help side defense, make good passes, communicate and all that good stuff. But that when the lights are on!! Can you be a good teammate in the dark, though? It doesn’t have to be a one-sided thing either. But, can you be strong enough to help someone else? You’ll get twice the experience, and knowledge is power… even on the court!
