Get The Little Things Right

Getting the little things right every day is how you make it. Recently, when working with a player on their shooting, I found myself repeating to them, "Keep doing the little things right, and the ball will go in." Stop putting pressure on yourself to make every shot and just lock in on what you need to do to make the shot go in. It takes a lot of time and doing the same things that feel insignificant to get your desired goal.

When coaching players, I have to remind them not to grow bored with the small things. This is where their foundation is. This is what you return to if you ever start to struggle. Every player has to start somewhere, and the greatest players in the world fall in love with the little details. The more you focus on executing the little things, the faster your game will take off. Small wins are to be celebrated each day. When a player can see their growth, they buy into perfecting the little things. You can see the change in their demeanor. They want to come in and work.
