Sometimes A Hug & Some Love Is All A Player Needs

~A hug without words is an expression of unconditional love~

“After a loss or a bad game sometimes all a player needs is a hug and a litttle bit of love, parents you gotta capture those moments, they’re priceless”-DH

Unconditionally Loved.......

One Hundred Years from now it won’t matter how many shots were made or missed during a game, how much playing time your child received, how far your team went in district play-offs, nor how many A’s were brought home from school, but the world will be a lot better [in the heart of your child] because you made a decision to Affirm & Love Your Child Unconditionally.

Why Most Are Afraid to Ask for Prayer Publicly?

~Prayers made In Faith are key to getting our day to day problems resolved~

The main reason most people who need prayer won’t ask for it publicly is because they’re too worried about what others are going to think & say about them, but as for me, I need your prayers & encouragement every single day.

Thank you.

Deon

P.S. Be not ashamed to ask for prayer!

I See My Peer Group In My Profession As My Teammates, Not Competitors:

“I see my peer group in youth sports as “One Body” with many members doing their best to help kids grow in the areas of their interest & gifting”

~Unity Strengthens~

Throughout my 28 years of training, developing & motivating players, I’ve never use the words “my competitors” when addressing others who teach & coach youth basketball.

How I was Raised?
I was raised to like, love and respect the differences of others; I’m not one who feels threatened by the successes of my peer group, in fact, I get excited when I see others in my profession do well, because when they succeed, others working in our profession succeeds.

“I think it’s harmful to our profession to be domain driven and self absorbed, I want everyone to eat”

How I See My Peer Group?

I see trainers & coaches as my brothers & sisters [in christ], and as special people with amazing gifts who’ve been given a role, a task and a responsibility of helping me in our line of work, develop, teach, motivate inspire & mentor the lives of young people through the game of 🏀 basketball!

A community who works together will rise together!

A Parent Note to Their Teenager About Dating The Wrong Person

This is an example of a parent note to a teenage son or daughter who wants to date a person who’s morals, beliefs, attitudes and actions aren't in line with the family values:

Dear son or daughter:

I love you. You’re the best child I could ever want from God. All I want is the best for you.

My responsibility as a mother and/or father is to love, protect & provide for you to the best of my ability.

It is my God given responsibility to make sure that you’re on the right track, that you stay in your lane and that you grow up honoring & obeying me or us, God’s word, society’s rules and our family values.

“Dating The Wrong Person” can get you into lots of trouble, cause you to compromise your family values and ultimately leave you scarred for life.

And I, (we) don’t want that for you!

Love,

Parents

Year Round Skills Training Is A Game Changer 4 Players

"

The key to a players growth after receiving proper training is the implementation of what they've learned during practice & games"

What I've noticed throughout the years about players who commit to year round training verses those who train only during basketball season is that those who commit to training year round often have greater long term success that those who aren't seriously committed.

That's why I often say, "whatever you do the most, you'll grow the most"
