Apologies...

The first week of practice has been hectic, but I will resume a normal schedule next week. I'll make up for it by posting some GREAT basketball articles. Stay tuned, thanks for reading!

Quote of the Day:

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." – Stanford University commencement address, 1995.

Quote of the Day:

"That's been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains." -Steve Jobs, Apple

Quote of the Day:

"When you come on the basketball floor each afternoon, for the next approximately two hours, you are a basketball player. That's all. I am looking at you and thinking of you as a basketball player. That is all. As soon as practice is over, you are not a basketball player. You are a student at UCLA." -John Wooden

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

Of course, I'm talking about the first day of practice! Good luck to all D1 coaches who begin full team practices this week- prepare, teach and motivate!

"When the time to perform arrives, the time to prepare has passed." -Howard Putnam
