On click passes, scattering sunshine, and keeping your promises
November 16 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
A click pass is when the ball comes into your hands and goes out again in an eighth of a second…
…you catch the ball, you throw the ball—like a second baseman on a double play.
The only way you can make a click pass is to know before you get the ball what you are going to do with it.
Click passes will put the ball in a scoring position or a dangerous position against man or zone defenses, and you’ll probably be surprised at how much easier it is for your team to score just by this simple effort.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment.”
– Orison Swett Marden
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Self‐confident people share one habit in common, and that is the ability to keep the promises they make to themselves.
When you’re in the habit of keeping promises you make with yourself, you’re on the pathway to self‐confidence.
Self‐confidence is also a form of self‐trust, and if you can’t trust yourself, you need to do some hard thinking about your life.”
– Ed Mylett
