Teaching the bballers is fun, a source of energy, joy, understanding, and sometimes frustration. I know the kids are hard workers, they love the game of bball, give their all each and every practice and are willing to learn as much as possible each time out. Some might say that one can learn just as much from winning as not. I'm not sure about that, I guess when you lose, you learn how to deal with the loss, but learning how to win, how to achieve the results wanted and become a winner. Can one be a winner and still lose games? Absolutley and I know this from first hand experience. I have played on championship teams and the other way too... I learned more about teamwork, how to win, how to practice to win and be better on the championship teams and I learned how to handle disapointment on the teams that were losers... What else did I learn from the loser teams? Probably more than I know, but I do feel like I did learn the most playing for the coaches that knew how to teach winners and I believe this to be the case. Good coaches can and often do create winners even when the natural talent of the team is below average. Not that it always happens, but the chance for the kids to be winners is bigger I think when they at least try to learn what it takes to be a winner both on and off the court. Succes in the gym often means success outside the gym too... life is better when you try and learn how to win and not learn how to deal with loss? Many questions this time around I know. Any other answers? No Doubt, many others and better ones too... Try and find them da and search for the key... gotta go, take care folkens..
