Practicing Ball Handling

Well, if you have never seen this, enjoy. Mike Conley has developed some of the best ball handling skills I have ever seen!

RESPECT!!!

I was watching a practice recently and a coach, who I like, told his boy's team that they played like a bunch of girls! Well, I wanted to discuss this since I have a female cousin who is very young, but better than every boy she has played against. They even have had her play up in age against the boys, and she is better than them too. SO...The point is that it doesn't matter what you gender you are because any person can achieve success, and the next time someone coaching you refers to boys as girls, be sure to correct the coach and demand RESPECT to our women. Both boys and girls can play well sometimes, and poorly too. I spoke with this coach and let him know that it would be better to teach his team to practice harder instead of using an insult. My cousin is the perfect example. If a boy were to play like her, they would be an all star!

Celts/Heat, Superbowl, and quote of the day!

Well, it is silly to say, but for anyone who has any hope that the Heat will improve, it will have to be with a win tonight. This is, in some ways, the Heat's championship. A win tonight can change the season, but a loss almost ends it.

Okay, so does anyone think the Giants can beat the Pats? My heart tells me they can, but my brain thinks differently. What do you think? Email me your opinion on both the Heat game tonight, and the superbowl at courtney@courts1on1.com

Great Quote about practice!

Now,once again, if you do not know who Gary Player is, you should google him!

The Rainbow

This morning I worked with a boy who shoots the best rainbow three pointer I have seen for any child under seven years old. I mean, who shoots threes when you are that young. Well, this boy did!...... Later today will be another great quote. See you then!

My Philosophy

Well, It's not mine, but I use it when teaching. It is from Aristotle. If you do not know who he was, then you should google his name.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit."

Anyone have any good quotes like this one, then email me at courtney@courts1on1.com

Look forward to a big day tomorrow of games and fun.

BEING POSITIVE

My name is Courtney Young, and I have a company called Court's 1 on 1 Sports where I train children of all ages in basketball, general sports, and even study skills. In my company, we define winning by having fun while trying our best. If one tries their best, shows respect to others and themselves, and has good sportsmanship, they are a winner.....
