🏀Do you impact WINNING?
Elijah Bryant
January 18, 2024
Hello,
Before anything prayers out to Dejan’s Family 💙
Thanks for joining us today. Do you enjoy winning? Do you know how to win? I'm Elijah Bryant, still learning with you. I've won an NBA and Euroleague Championship, but I'm a lifelong learner. I'll teach you how to influence winning. Are you ready? Just hold on, we’re going home.
Basketball Tip 🏀
To win in basketball, it's crucial to score more points than the opposing team. Since there's only one ball, you won't always have the chance to shoot. I'll show you how to impact winning without shooting.
1. Communication with Teammates: No one is born a winner; they develop skills. Being on the same page with your teammates is essential. Connecting and touching more contributes to winning.
2. Elite Physical Shape: Being in top shape allows you to play defense throughout the court, crash the glass, maintain focus, and have more output based on endurance.
3. Basketball IQ: Experience builds basketball IQ. Whether from games, practices, or watching film on other players, learning from various perspectives enhances your IQ on both ends of the court.
Impact winning by making winning plays, especially on the defensive end. Defense, focused on effort, will always get you on the floor through deflections, charges, steals, and defensive rebounds.
Example: Defense is crucial for playing time; learn to play it well.
If your dream is the NBA, play to your strengths. Not everyone is the next MJ, but you can have a great career by starring in your role. These tips will give you more offensive opportunities with a longer leash.
Weekly Challenge 🔨
I want you to keep track of how many times you touch your teammates at practice or in a game.
Q&A ❓
How do you increase your skill without basketball?
The key to improving your skills off the basketball court is by doing everything else right. What does that mean? Pay attention to your diet, mental health, and spiritual well-being. Imagine your body is a Ferrari; you can't expect peak performance if you're fueling it with Toyota-like nutrients.
Are you getting enough sleep to be fully ready for the game? Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal now, it will catch up with you over time.
These are aspects you can control, and they'll make you a better basketball player without even touching the ball.
Thank you for grabbing your playbook 🙏
We look forward to seeing you next week, unless you don’t want more confidence. 🤔
