On Fakes, Inspiring Leaders, and Guiding Principles
May 19 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Most players would instantly improve by doing this one thing way more:
Using fakes.
Fakes throw a defense off balance.
Fakes help you score more points.
Fakes create passing lanes for assists.
So in your next practice or game, use more fakes to create more opportunities.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
If you can’t find the leader who inspires you, be the leader you wish you had.
– Krech Lennart
LIFE PRINCIPLE
More is accomplished in life by a person who is guided by principles than by one who relies on their will. When your will fails, let your principles prevail because you stand a better chance of making success of your dream.
– Victor Kwegyir
