This podcast is for parents of the upstate of South Carolina who want to help their kid reach their full basketball potential. We talk about the life of the basketball student-athlete: academics, character, basketball training, college recruitment, mental toughness, playing time, and more.
This episode is a little different. I am fresh off of a training session where we did not give 100% effort and here are my thoughts that I want to share with my trainees and fellow Playmakers.
