Put :30 On The Clock
If you're a hooper, welcome home! We get into what it takes to be successful, the joys & pains of the journey and the lessons we learn along the way. We get the work done, but that does not stop us from enjoying ourselves here and there. A little bit of current events won't hurt either.

"Why have I not closed the gap between me and those I am chasing? Why have I not increased the distance from those who are behind me?" These are the questions asked by a player that isn't making the best progress during the summer. Although it's a terrible realization to have, it's great to notice how wrong things are going so that a change can be made before things get out of hand. What can be done about i...
Sometimes the corny message is the right one. It is 100% natural to lack confidence in the biggest moments, but it's also 100% natural to feel like you deserve to be successful AFTER having done the work. So many put in the work and then doubt themselves when it matters most, so in this episode we dive into this issue to understand and overcome it.
After a very long and trying break, we are back! In this episode we dive into the mind and approach of the greatest defender you will ever face... YOU! You might think that you would never do anything to interfere with your own success, but that could not be further from the truth. We get in our own way all of the time, and in this episode, we're gonna understand why and how to defeat ourselves!
Aye aye aye, it's not what you think! Well, it might be. We're definitely NOT telling you what shots you should be taking because we don't know what shots you're good at. What we ARE doing is defining some of the foundational aspects that help us determine what a good shot is and isn't. This is a topic that frustrates both player and coach because they are rarely on the same page, so we showed up to bring e...
The time has come. For most, their minds are on just getting through the preseason motions, waiting for the official tryout week to begin. Not you. Your mindset is far different from everyone else because your goals require it. You can't afford to just fall in line with what everyone else is doing, and that starts with your approach to what's going on right now. Let's lock in, it officially just got real!
"AAU," which is the term most often used when describing club basketball (wrongly as well), has won the praises and curses of many who have experienced it. The reason for that is simple: those who saw it for what it was appreciated all it had to offer. Those who thought that "AAU" would teach them how to play the right way were thoroughly disappointed. This episode is about seeing this part of the basketball cul...
We all know that player. The one that seems to put a shot up every single time they touch the ball. For some of us, we are that player! This episode isn't about creating a divide and choosing a side, but instead how to navigate the ball the hog and to see what common ground we share. Like it or not, we share the same uniform, so we will have to learn how to work with each other.
We're outside with this one! August is in the books, so now we have to make the most of September with equal parts effort and strategy. You have an agenda to carry out and the best wat to ensure things go your way is to plan, prepare and execute. For you, the season has already started!
The traditional point guard, in the NBA, may very well disappear once Chris Paul retires, and that's absolutely insane. There are countless people constantly telling you that you have to provide more than the average player just to get any attention and that could not be further from the truth! Chris Paul, at the time of this recording, is 39 years old and found a starting job in the NBA as 6'0" point guard. Yes, he ...
A message directed at the high school hooper that still applies to all, this episode covers what you should expect in the month of August. What to prepare for, who to talk to, goals to set and more. You simply cannot wait for tryouts, instead you have to be strategic & intentional with every move you make, and that starts the moment you get back to school. You've put in the work all summer, you've trained for the spot...
Even when we have a trainer, a team and a great support system, there are those of us who struggle to make real, visible improvements. If those players have trouble, then it's clear that those who are not as fortunate can have the same issues as well. In this episode we lay out the clear, easy to understand blueprint to how you can get better, no matter what it is you are trying to develop or sharpen; so if this is you, TUNE I...
Both your enemies and allies are quick to tell you what you cannot do. Your enemies wish to attack your morale and confidence. Your allies don't want to see you hurt in case your dreams do not come true. Strangers lean towards negativity, so even they will shoot your dreams down if they somehow get knowledge of what you're up to.
They are all correct. But what if your heroes listened to them? What if your favorite pl...
There will always be someone demanding that you prove yourself. As long as you're trying, this person will exist. Is that a problem? It shouldn't be. You have to know which ones are worth your effort and which ones aren't worth a moment of your time.
With so many variables to deal with when it comes to being successful, you can't afford to let what you CAN control slip out of your hands. You have more than enough to deal with; the absolute LAST thing you need is to hear from your own conscience & guilt gang up on you until regret lands the final blow. It is that serious.
It is easy to recognize that Tyrese Maxey is having a breakout year, especially with the role he has taken over for his team. What is not easily seen is what it took to be given the opportunity in the first place. You don't get to put up the numbers that he does by being shy; so if you're looking to advance to the next level, you need to take advantage of your chances the way Maxey does his.
If the spotlight is on anyone right now, it's on James Harden. It's almost as if the NBA media forgot to tell us what Wemby had for breakfast because of the fact that the Clippers are still winless since adding The Beard. Things may improve from this point, but AT this point, we need to understand what we are looking at and what we can learn from this very wild situation.
It’s an unspoken line, that separates players who contribute to scoring, from players who are expected to carry the scoring load. Some get this responsibility, most don’t, and it’s not always fair. What comes with being on either side of that line? It might surprise you to find out.
We never take the time to think about how many stars have to align for us, JUST to be able to play the game that we love. It takes a lot of time & commitment to improve & perform, and if we simply just STOP, take a look at everyone and everything supporting us, we'd play a lot harder and a lot better. Basketball is not guaranteed, we have to act like we know that!
If you do what everyone else does, you will have what everyone else has. This is one of the greatest ways to destroy your own opportunity to live out your dreams. Amongst those who understand you will be right at home, but to the overwhelming majority you will look like a maniac, just because you're doing what's required to succeed. Don't let it discourage you, let it ENCOURAGE you that you're not amongst the &q...
Who you play for, for the most part, is out of your control. Who plays for you, also, is often out of your control. Practices & games allow you to get a real good look at the other person. What happens when you don't like your coaches/ADs, etc.? What happens when you don't like that player that you recruited? How do you handle that? Tune in, that's how!
