Put The Seed In The Ground
Deon enthusiastically say’s, “Before you can grow the seed, you have to put it in the ground and sow it”
~God’s economy has unlimited resources even during an pandemic~
Beautiful Read:
Matthew 25:14-30 “The parable of the talents”
Many of us have all types of gifts, talents & things such as: writing letters, showing compassion, tutors, dog sitting, making clothes, quilts, listening to others, singing to others, extra clothes, extra automobiles, extra land, experience based knowledge and many are prayer warriors, and God has given us all these things so that we can sow them and be a blessing to others, not hoarders!
Extra Readings:
Galatians 6:6-10; II Corinthians 9;10-11,

As A Kid, I Thrived Off Of Positive Teachers & Coaches
As a young talented basketball player, I thrived and did very well in school and sports because I was surrounded by positive teachers and coaches. all of my coaches were demanding but loving. I knew each day that I went to the gym that my coaches believed in me, loved me, and that they were going to challenge me to be the very best that I could be, no matter what!
As a young player, I never went to the gym and felt like I shouldn't be there. In fact, the gym became my home away from home. And to be honest, the church, the school, the gym and my home are the places I was raised in the most. Every single one of the coaches I played for, from grade school through high school, often spent extra time before and after school teaching & encouraging me and sowing into my future.
I knew as a child that I wanted to play basketball whenever I grew up. My foundation was properly seeded by Christian men and women who played the game, loved the game and they new that I had something special before I did, and they nurtured my talents and gifts, but always held me accountable for remaining humble, respectful and hard working.

As a kid, my teachers & coaches planted the right seeds into my education & athletic career and for that I'm forever grateful.dh
Characteristics Needed To Become An Above Average & More Competitive Player
Below is a list of some CHARACTERISTICS Hoop Hunter believes a player who participates in competitive sports must have:
1. Must have enough of the fundamentals of the game (down packed) to be able to use them during practice and play.
2. Must have a willingness and desire to put in the work daily to constantly improve your fundamental skills (without being asked).
3. Must have a healthy coachable & contagious attitude.
4. Must have a meaningful level of respect for their teammates, coaches and assistant coaches.
5. Must take pride in learning new things and playing different roles even if you don't agree with them.
6. Must have a good spirit about complimenting other teammates even when their performances are better than yours.
7. Must have a competitive nature and must be able to express it consistently during practice and play without being asked.
8. Tend to thrive when competing against bigger, better & more competitive athletes without making excuses.
9. When a coach and/or trainer teaches you something, you learn it, practice it, perfect it, make it permanent and then you seek an opportunity to perform it against others when the lights come on without making excuses!
10. Whenever you play with others, your competitive nature, self-confidence and desire to win is contagious!
*The list above is more for student-athletes grades 7th-12th and who plays competitive sports (it can vary depending on several situations & circumstances.)
