On Dead Ball Time, Advice, and Sitting on the Fence
Feb. 24 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Five ways to use dead ball time like a pro:
- Check time & score
- Urge tougher defense
- Encourage a teammate
- Remind someone to block out
- Chase down the ball for the ref
Whatever you do, don’t just stand there and do nothing.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
Asking for feedback creates a critic. Asking for advice creates a partner. One word can create a remarkable difference.

LIFE PRINCIPLE

Get in, or get out. Wasting time sitting on the fence wastes far more time and emotion than you’d expend committing to something.
– Seth Godin
