FIVE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR COACH LIKE THE WAY YOU PLAY

1. Be the first on the court every time and never, ever late. Get busy working on your fundamentals. Go to work on your game the second you step on the court. No conversation with teammates.

2. Have the "eye of the tiger" mindset. No one is going to out hustle you or want it more than you. You are the tiger in the fight, not the kitten.

3. Pressure your opponent. Practice is not a social hour. Practice is your time to make the person you guard miserable. Guard with such great intensity, every dribble is under duress. Make players hate to play against you. On ā€œDā€ great pressure, on ā€œOā€ move, move and then move some more.

4. Make your teammates better. Talk with encouragement. Call out screens on defense; set solid screens on offense. Be positive, energetic and happy to be part of the team.

5. Take care of the ball, make good decisions, pass to the open player and know the plays.
