Hoop Hunter's Coach/Trainer Perspectives
What Coaches Like About Coaching Players?
Coaches like coaching players who has a positive attitude, works hard in the classroom, practice and in games, who will listen and trust what they tell them without second guessing their authority.
What Trainers Like About Training Players?
Trainers like training players who are serious about improving & upgrading their skill sets & play, who will take what they've been taught, practice it, perfect it, make it permanent and go perform it against highly competitive competition without making excuses.
What Hoop Hunter Hates The Most?
I hate watching talented capable players sit on the bench because they failed to put in the necessary work "on their own time" to separate themselves from their competition in order to deserve quality playing time.
~"If you don't put in the time, you will most often sit on the pine (the bench)"~
What Hoop Hunter Don't Care For During Games?
I don't care for players who turn, look & listen to their parents yell for them to do selfish things from the stands that goes against the coaches game plan!!!!!!!
Did You Know?
*Most non-aggressive players lack confidence in some area (s) of the game.
*Confidence & aggressiveness dwell together, you can't have one without the other!
P.S. This was written to give players and parents healthy food for though from a coach/trainer perspective.

"My Mission In Life Is To Help Others Learn 2 Become Successful"
Helping others become successful at baring fruit is one of the most self-gratifying, selfless, personal & self-rewarding gifts anyone can ever give to a friend, brother/sister, teammate, stranger and/or neighbor.
Throughout my life, I've had several people [rich, well off & poor]who sowed [all types of things] into what I now call, "My Success."
The one thing that I remember about each of those very special people that helped me the most is that they planted & sowed "Seeds of Success" into my future.
They always spoke to me using healthy words of encouragement, shared knowledge, gave lots of do's & don't advice, they spent quality time with me, when I messed up, they picked me up and also continued to believe & love me unconditionally.
Today, I'm a proud product of several hundred men and women who's successful paths I learned to follow because they chose to sow and invest in me with a selfless, tireless and sincere heart.
Acts 20:35
"It's more blessed to give than it is to receive"

Teamwork Makes Community Work
In our community & society today, there's lots of gifted and talented, self serving, self-absorbed, prideful and domain driven individuals. [It Doesn't Have 2Be That Way!]
Our community and society as a whole work much better when we respectfully recognize each others Godly gifts [ EACH ONE TEACH ONE] while also sharing & embracing the gifts of others (our friends & neighbors).
When God gives anyone a unique set of gifts, He also expects them to remain faithful, humble, meek, friendly and welcoming towards others.
Together, let's continue to build healthy alliances while also respecting our unique spiritual gifts and calling.

Protect Your Mind From Foolish Things & People
Don't allow your mind to be consumed by foolish THINGS and/or PEOPLE. Our minds are very precious and require protection against THINGS and PEOPLE that negatively effect how we think, feel and act.
Too often we allow unnecessary THINGS such as; television, radio, internet, popular trends, social media and people to negatively impact how we think, feel and act because we allow them to consume us to the point that we began to ingest negative thoughts, ideas, false beliefs and doubts which in turn lead to self-doubt, stress, worry, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Remember, the best way to protect your mind is to renew it daily by reading God's word.
Bible Verses
Romans 12:1-2 (Renew your minds)
Philippians 4:8 (Think of things that are pure, excellent, honorable & lovely)

Jesus Christ Died For All Our Sins
Jesus Christ forgave Saul who later became Paul in the bible for killing Christian's (intentionally).
~Paul's epistles can be read in the new testament~
If Jesus Christ can forgave Saul (for killing Christian's) who later became Paul and an apostle for Christ, then you can expect the same Jesus Christ to forgive all of man's earthly sins as well.
[Jesus died for all of our sins]
Romans 8:28
For all things work together for the good of those who love the lord and who are called according to His purpose in Christ Jesus.

What To Do When Facing Criticism
When facing criticism, think before you act. Too often student-athletes react very quickly to criticism without fully thinking things through. As a former student-athlete, I can remember countless times while playing for a very demanding coach that I failed at responding to his commands because I repeatedly took what was said personally, as well as I wore my feelings on my shoulders.
[ "I failed because I didn't respond appropriately"]
The best way to handle unwanted criticism is to think things through before you act, don't take it personal and do your best to respond to it in a manner the best represents yourself & Christ.

Get Ready to Step Into Your Exceptional
After God has prepared, refined & shaped you (by way of all types of trials A-Z), get ready to step into your exceptional.
And when this happens, don't expect all of your so called friends to understand you as God prepares your 747 (airplane) for take off towards a higher destiny far greater than anyone else could have imagined.
"Keep telling yourself, it's about to happen"
Oh, and be mindful of the fact that some of your former [fake] friends won't be able to get on the plane with you (to head toward your new destination) because they lacked the belief that a bigger plan (by God) could ever exist for your life.
"Keep telling yourself, it's about to happen"
Deon Hunter
P.S. Believe in a bigger destiny and that with God on your side, life will continue to get better!

Love Em Anyway
I believe that deep in the heart of every mean spirited, provocative & even hateful person is a nice, warm-heart, kind, friendly & loving person that hungers & thirst for acceptance by others.
In other words, the good in some people have been infected, buried, lost, chained or even mislead by something in their past and/or upbringing that has tainted how they see themselves and how they treat others.

The Path You've Been Called Might Look Different
The path that God has chosen for you may look different from your friends, parents and even your siblings, but with joy, entrust your calling unto the lord and always give it your best.

Student-Athlete Advice
When facing difficult times in the classroom, among peer groups & during extracurricular activities, seek counsel (advice) from trustworthy adults as to how to best handle & overcome the situation.
About The Perfect Teacher & Coach
The perfect teacher and coach are both built on imperfections. Therefore whenever you find yourself a bit disappointed with either of the two, regardless of where you search to find that one perfect teacher and/or coach remember, they're all built on imperfections.

Be Careful When Establishing Old & New Relationships with Others
~The words of the wicked often warps the mind of a righteous innocent person~
When establishing old relationships with others, be careful, too often old relationships can come back tainted and field with lots of garbage (brought on by others) that no longer lines up with your values.
And when establishing new relationships with others , remember that most are driven by personal motives and lots of personal self-interest, meaning, you have something of importance that they need and /or want from you. And for the time being they're willing to be nice and be your friend.
~If the relationship doesn't feel right from the beginning, that's a sign to be careful~
"Unfortunately, sometimes in life you must handle old and new relationships with a long handle spoon (keep your distance & give it time) until you know within your heart that the person (s) have a legitimate, sincere and pure reason for wanting to be re-aquatinted or aquatinted with you."
