Being a Competitive Basketball Player Isn't Easy

What does it take to become a competitive basketball player?
It takes a relentless drive, year round training, dedicated heart, love for the game, a will to go the extra mile, skin that's thicker than an elephant, willingness to accept all types of criticism, internal & external drive, determination, feeling of disappointment after losses, competitive nature (on & off the court), diligent work habits (which begins in practice & carries over into the game), good teammates, perseverance, consistent pre-game & during the game focus, personal responsibility & accountability, a little luck and lots of prayer.

What will players will go through?
All competitive players will go through "The Fire" before they reach the top of their game." That's why coaches do their very best to prepare you so that once the battle begins, you will be well equip to withstand and overcome all the things that tries to hinder your efforts to get to the top.

"You can do it, but the reality is; it's hard work, it's not easy, but it's worth it!"

As a former Southland Conference MVP (UNT 1988-89'), Dallas Mavs rookie free agent (2 training camps), CBA, professional player-Argentina & UNT assistance basketball coach,  I speak to you  from experience.
