On Balanced Scoring, Gardening, Getting the Crap Done First
May 26 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
People claim you need balanced scoring.
You don’t.
You need all your players to just do what they’re good at, and leave the other things to the others.
The best shooters shoot more.
The best dribblers dribble more.
The best rebounders rebound more.
If you want more responsibility, build your IQ and grow your skillset.

LEADERSHIP LESSON
It’s not the gardener’s job to force the plant to grow, but rather to create ideal conditions for growth.

LIFE PRINCIPLE
Do the things you like least first. When you have energy, it’s easier to get an unpleasant thing done. When you’re tired, it is nearly impossible. Whether it’s yard work or studying, get the crap over with soon and save the best till last.
