A leader changes a room or the gyms energy when they enter. It is important that this change is positive rather than negative. When entering a room it always helps if the first thing out of your mouth is a compliment to someone like “coach, your looking sharp today, new shoes?” or “Mike how much

A leader is alway accountable for their actions. If you make a mistake on or off the court, it is important to graciously accept the consequences. One way of being accountable on the court is a simple “my bad” after a mistake. It lets teammates and coaches know that you are not looking for excuses

Being a leader does not mean that you are only a leader when you are on the court. It’s important to set a positive example wherever you are. If you are not busting your tail in the classroom it’s going to be hard for some of your teammates, coaches, and fans to see you as

One of the things that I love about the game of basketball is that it has so many real world connections. Work ethic, team work, mental toughness, physical toughness, and intelligence.
